Integrity360 has today released the following advisory in relation to a recent upsurge in DDoS attacks. We’d like to encourage our clients to review this advisory and action as required. 

The recent issue that was disclosed publicly was resolved and a patch was made available in July 2014 as part of Fortinet's commitment to ensuring the quality and integrity of their codebase. This was not a “backdoor” vulnerability issue but rather a management authentication issue. The issue was identified by Fortinet's Product Security team as part of their regular review and testing efforts.

It is an interesting time of year in the run up to Christmas. As I look out the window when I am writing this piece, I’m glad I’m indoors.

I get a chill in almost equal measure when I wonder if somewhere out there, cybercriminals are looking back at the year and taking stock of what was most profitable for them and planning the year ahead based on that analysis.

Many Irish organisations have become victim to a new wave of attacks resulting in financial loss for the victim companies. These attacks impersonate various stakeholders in the business, most frequently the CEO, senior management or a supplier. Emails are sent from this stakeholder requesting financial personnel make a payment or change payment details and redirect payments.
