A Russian-speaking hacker used generative AI to compromise the FortiGate firewalls, targeting credentials and backups for possible follow-on ransomware attacks.
The network security vendor said the MySonicWall breach was unrelated to the recent wave of Akira ransomware attacks targeting the company's devices.
SonicWall said a breach it disclosed last month affected firewall configuration files for all customers who have used SonicWall’s cloud backup service — up from its previous 5% estimate.
Threat actors breached the MySonicWall service and accessed backup firewall configuration files belonging to "fewer than 5%" of its install base, according to the company.
