SonicWall Security Incident

What happened?

SonicWall, a popular network security company that advisers and other financial institutions use for its firewall or router products, recently confirmed a security incident resulting in unauthorized access to configuration backup files for customers using its cloud backup service.

The configuration backup files contain encrypted credentials and configuration data. While encryption remains in place, unauthorized access to these files could increase the risk of targeted attacks.

What does this mean for me?

SonicWall recommends that all customers log in to their MySonicWall account to determine if any of their devices are affected, and to follow the published remediation steps, if needed. For full details on the incident, click here.
