Hot Take:

Oops, they did it again! SonicWall’s cloud backup service had more leaks than a sieve, and now all their customers are caught in the downpour. If only they had a firewall to protect their firewalls! Oh wait…

Key Points:

  • SonicWall confirms all cloud backup customers are affected by a recent security breach.
  • The breach exposed firewall configuration backup files, which could simplify exploitation for hackers.
  • Exposed files contain AES-256-encrypted credentials and configuration data.
  • Previously, only 5% of firewall customers were thought to be affected.
  • Customers should reset MySonicWall account credentials and monitor for updates.
