FortiBleed credential-theft campaign linked to Lynx ransomware
By Lawrence Abrams
AI Summary
The FortiBleed credential theft campaign — which exposed credentials from approximately 75,000 Fortinet firewalls — has been linked to the INC and Lynx ransomware operations, indicating the stolen credentials are being actively weaponized for network intrusions. Security teams running Fortinet infrastructure should treat any FortiBleed-era credentials as fully compromised and rotate them immediately, as downstream ransomware attacks may continue for years.
