事件经过：Fortinet 凭据大规模泄露
一起重大数据泄露事件中，犯罪分子在暗网上泄露了超过15,000台 FortiGate 设备的配置文件、IP 地址和VPN 访问凭据。每个文件夹都包含一个 FortiGate 配置转储文件以及一个 vpn-passwords.txt 文件。令人担忧的是，部分密码以明文形式存储，这可能是由于密码复杂性不足或系统配置不当所致。
该泄露与一个零日漏洞 (CVE-2022-40684) 有关，黑客通过从受感染的 FortiGate 设备下载配置来利用该漏洞。他们创建了一个名为 ‘fortigate-tech-support’ 的管理员账户以方便访问。 另见: AfriNIC会员名册神秘消失.
