Kiteworks urges 6-hour server shutdown over potential zero-day attacks
Kiteworks urged a worldwide six-hour server shutdown after intelligence warned of possible imminent attacks.
Kiteworks warned customers that federal authorities shared credible intelligence that a threat actor may try to target some Kiteworks systems over the weekend of September 26. The company urged customers worldwide to shut down Kiteworks servers for six hours, including systems not exposed to the internet, with a Central Europe window of 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Saturday. Kiteworks told BleepingComputer it knows of no compromise and that the advisory is preventative. Support comments referenced potential zero-day attacks, but neither the company nor the quoted notice confirmed a zero-day or exploitation; known vulnerabilities are said to be fixed in version 9.5.1.
