AOMEI Backupper Compromised in Short-Burst Supply Chain Campaign

By Ionut Arghire

AI Summary

AOMEI Backupper's update infrastructure was compromised in multiple short-burst windows between April and July, during which attackers modified configuration files on update servers to push the ShinyRoad modular backdoor framework to users. AOMEI has not yet notified affected customers despite confirming the breach to Recorded Future News. This supply chain attack is particularly dangerous given AOMEI Backupper's broad deployment across enterprise and SMB environments.
