That’s not good, but it’s not like we can switch to a more secure alternative. ;)

Did I miss the bit where they said how it was delivered?

Seems it’s exploiting vulnerabilities in some software called “Ivanti Connect Secure VPN”, so unless you’re running that, you’re safe I guess. Says in the past they used vulnerabilities in “Qlik Sense” and Adobe “Magento”. Never heard of any of those, but I guess maybe some businesses use them?

Ivanti Connect Secure VPN

So its spreading via a closed source VPN software. Why should you even use that when there is great VPN software available on Linux which works reliable for decades?

Well of course you miss zero trust connections, multi-cloud readiness, award‑winning security and proven secure corporate access …
