Security News > 2024 > February > AnyDesk says hackers breached its production servers, resets passwords
AnyDesk confirmed today that it suffered a recent cyberattack that allowed hackers to gain access to the company's production systems.
In a statement shared with BleepingComputer, AnyDesk says they first learned of the attack after detecting indications of an incident on their product servers.
"We can confirm that the situation is under control and it is safe to use AnyDesk. Please ensure that you are using the latest version, with the new code signing certificate," AnyDesk said in a public statement.
While the company says that no authentication tokens were stolen, out of caution, AnyDesk is revoking all passwords to their web portal and suggests changing the password if it's used on other sites.
While AnyDesk had not shared when the breach occurred, Born reported that AnyDesk suffered a four-day outage starting on January 29th, during which the company disabled the ability to log in to the AnyDesk client.
While AnyDesk says that passwords were not stolen in the attack, the threat actors did gain access to production systems, so it is strongly advised that all AnyDesk users change their passwords.
