Fortinet: May 2023 Security Advisory Critical: 0-Day Malware Exploit

A suspected China-nexus threat actor exploited a recently patched vulnerability in Fortinet FortiOS SSL-VPN as a zero-day in attacks targeting a European government entity and a managed service provider (MSP) located in Africa. . Telemetry evidence gathered by Google-owned Mandiant indicates that the exploitation occurred as early as October 2022, at least nearly two months before fixes were released. "This incident continues China's pattern of exploiting internet facing devices, specifically those used for managed security purposes (e.g., firewalls, IPS\IDS appliances etc.)," Mandiant researchers said in a technical report. The attacks entailed the use of a sophisticated backdoor dubbed BOLDMOVE , a Linux variant of which is specifically designed to run on Fortinet's FortiGate firewalls. The link for this article located at The Hacker News is no longer available. . State-sponsored cybercriminals from China took advantage of a flaw in Fortinet security software to install malicious code and create backdoors in compromised networks..

3 Essential Strategies To Defend Against Linux Cyberattacks

Linux operating systems power more than 90% of the world’s public cloud workload , from government web servers to smart manufacturing technologies. But as organizations continue to shift operations to the cloud, cybercriminals are following suit and directing their attention to Linux-based cyberattacks. . With a reputation for providing more robust security than rival operating systems, Linux can give users a false sense of security. Consequently, IT and security teams often deprioritize security measures that prevent cybercriminals from gaining unauthorized network access. The simple reality is that no operating system is bulletproof, which is evident when you look at the 650% increase in malware targeting Linux in H1 2022 compared to the previous year. So, to effectively defend customers’ cloud environments against sophisticated attackers, managed service providers (MSPs) need to stay current in best security practices for Linux and guide customers through the deployment of end-to-end security measures. . Explore methods to strengthen client protections against Linux-targeted threats, fostering a resilient cloud security framework..
