Fortinet confirms customer data breach

Posted on September 15, 2024 by Dissent

Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai reports:

On Thursday, cybersecurity giant Fortinet disclosed a breach involving customer data.

In a statement posted online, Fortinet said an individual intruder accessed “a limited number of files” stored on a third-party shared cloud drive belonging to Fortinet, which included data belonging to “less than 0.3%” of its customers. The company said that the incident “did not involve any data encryption, deployment of ransomware, or access to Fortinet’s corporate network.”

Based on the company’s most recent full-year earnings, Fortinet has “well over half a million customers,” suggesting that the breach may affect at least 1,500 corporate customers of Fortinet.

On September 12, a user calling themself “FortiBitch” leaked what they claimed was 440 GB of files from Fortinet on a popular hacking forum.
