The CISO of Acronis has downplayed what appeared to be an intrusion into its systems, insisting only one customer was affected, using stolen credentials, and that all other data remains safe.

Acronis security boss Kevin Reed took to LinkedIn to dispute details of the boasted intrusion.

Acronis has both tweeted and told The Register that no Acronis products were affected or exploited.

Instead, someone got hold of an Acronis customer's account login info and used that to siphon off their files, we're told.

"On March 9, a post on BreachedForums mentioned Acronis. We immediately started the investigation," a spokesperson for Acronis told The Reg via email.

"The investigation confirmed that no Acronis products were affected. However, based on the information we have, the credentials used by a specific customer to upload diagnostic data to Acronis Support have been compromised. We are working with that customer and have suspended account access as we resolve the issue."
