Zscaler says that they discovered an exposed "Test environment" that was taken offline for analysis after rumors circulated that a threat actor was selling access to the company's systems.
A Zscaler employee also shared on Mastodon that the company investigated the rumors and that they are "Completely inaccurate and unfounded."
In an evening update, Zscaler confirmed that they discovered an "Isolated test environment" exposed to the internet, which they took offline for forensic analysis.
"Our investigation discovered an isolated test environment on a single server which was exposed to the internet," confirmed Zscaler in an evening update.
"The test environment was not hosted on Zscaler infrastructure and had no connectivity to Zscaler's environments. The test environment was taken offline for forensic analysis."
While IntelBroker did not share the name of the company, a screenshot shared with BleepingComputer by digital forensics student James, shows the threat actor claiming it was Zscaler in the Breach Forums shoutbox.
