ANDDESK: BE CAREFUL IN USING THAT REMOTE SUPPORT SOFTWARE

Posted on 2024-02-02 by guenni

[German]A short warning to IT supporters who use the AnyDesk remote maintenance
software for remote support. A few days ago, I reported some issues with this
product (see my German blog post Störung bei AnyDesk, jemand betroffen?).
AnyDesk web site has been on maintenance since January 30, 2024. Now vague
information is trickling in, that there has been a cyber incident – although
there is an information lock, so I can't get any details.

The information I got so far is that there is a problem with AnyDesk. A cyber
incident has been occurred – but no details are available from my sources. There
is a recommendation from one source (which is currently rather nebulous) to look
very carefully where AnyDesk is used (never in critical infrastructure
environments).

Combining numerous vague fragments of information I got from several sources –
and some concrete observations from the readership – I have an idea of what
might have happened. The official change log of AnyDesk client version 8.0.8,
dated January 29, 2024, says "Exchanged code signing certificate. The previous
certificate will be invalidated soon. Please update." I know also, that there is
a confidential warning from German cyber security watch guard (BSI) – but I was
not able to get the details.

As a precautionary measure, I would not use use AnyDesk anymore until the
details have been clarified and to keep a very close eye on systems in which the
product was used in January 2024 (and scan them for malware if necessary). I
hope, I can report a few more details within the next days.
