Kiteworks Urges Customers to Shut Down Systems for 9 Hours Over Possible Cyber Attack
Kiteworks urged a nine-hour customer shutdown after a federal warning of a possible attack.
Kiteworks told customers to shut down systems for nine hours after federal intelligence authorities said a threat actor might target some Kiteworks systems. CISO Frank Balonis said there is no evidence customer systems were compromised and called the shutdown preventative. The company said known vulnerabilities are fixed in release 9.5.1 and that subsidiaries including Zivver, DRACOON, and ownCloud are unaffected. Formerly Accellion, Kiteworks was targeted by Clop in 2020-2021 through zero-days in its file-transfer software.
