Cybercriminals have compromised over 30,000 Fortinet firewalls and VPNs worldwide by exploiting reused or leaked passwords, not unknown vulnerabilities. The ongoing campaign, called FortiBleed, involves scanning for exposed Fortinet devices and using lists of known passwords to gain access. Once inside, hackers monitor traffic to steal more credentials, expanding their reach. Major companies like Accenture, Lenovo, and Samsung are among the victims, with the most affected countries including India, the US, Taiwan, and Mexico. The attackers appear to be Russian-speaking, and industries impacted include IT services, telecommunications, and government agencies. This highlights the critical need for companies to update passwords and secure internet-exposed systems.
