Silk Typhoon Strikes: Chinese Hackers Breach Commvault’s Cloud Fortress!
Commvault’s enterprise cloud systems were hacked by Chinese group Silk Typhoon, targeting customer secrets. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and Commvault issued a joint advisory, linking the breach to a larger campaign. The hackers are proficient in exploiting cloud environments, posing a significant threat to sensitive data storage in the cloud.
Hot Take:
Looks like Commvault got caught in a “Silk” storm without the umbrella of cybersecurity protection. With Chinese hackers making cloud systems rain secrets, the only thing left to do is hope that Commvault’s data management is as seamless as silk and not as vulnerable as a wet paper bag!
Key Points:
- Chinese hackers, known as Silk Typhoon, infiltrated Commvault’s cloud systems.
- Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and Commvault issued a joint advisory about the breach.
- The attack is part of a larger campaign targeting SaaS companies’ cloud applications.
- Microsoft alerted Commvault to the unauthorized access in February.
