Cybersecurity Chaos: Triple Threat of Firewall Exploits Unleashed!
GreyNoise discovered three cyber campaigns targeting Cisco, Fortinet, and Palo Alto Networks devices, originating from the same subnets. Evidently, hackers prefer sharing IP addresses like a bad Netflix password. The company warns that these attacks often precede new vulnerability disclosures. So, secure your systems before hackers turn your firewall into a “fire-drizzle.”
Hot Take:
Looks like the cybercriminals have been busy bees, buzzing around Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, and Fortinet like they’re the best honey pots in the digital world. It’s almost as if they threw a block party on the same subnet and invited all their hacker friends. Who knew firewalls could be such a hotspot for social gatherings? Maybe it’s time to RSVP with a good old-fashioned “Block”!
Key Points:
- Three separate exploitation campaigns target Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, and Fortinet VPNs.
- GreyNoise detected scanning activities originating from the same subnets.
- These activities are associated with the ArcaneDoor espionage campaign linked to China-based hackers.
- Palo Alto Networks firewalls experienced a 500% increase in scanning activities.
- 80% of spikes in firewall and VPN activity indicate imminent vulnerability disclosures.
