Fortinet Responds to FortiBleed Campaign
By Ionut Arghire
AI Summary
Fortinet confirmed that the FortiBleed credential-harvesting campaign produced a verified database of over 86,000 working credentials stolen from compromised FortiGate firewall deployments. The campaign used custom-built sniffers injected into device memory to intercept authentication traffic in real time, a technique that evades many traditional detection methods. Organizations using FortiGate should treat the credential store as compromised and implement immediate remediation per Fortinet's guidance.
