Fortinet Data Breach Impacts Customer Information

Fortinet Data Breach Impacts Customer Information

Fortinet on Thursday confirmed suffering a data breach impacting customers.


The hacker, who uses the online moniker ‘Fortibitch’, made the announcement on a popular hacking forum and claimed that the data — 440 Gb in total — came from an Azure Sharepoint instance. The threat actor indicated that the decision to make the stolen data available came after Fortinet refused to pay a ransom. The hacker has shared information for accessing an AWS S3 bucket that allegedly stores the data, but SecurityWeek has not attempted to access it. Several users of the hacker forum complained about not being able to gain access to the files.
