Gen Digital, the parent company of cybersecurity subsidiaries such as Avast and
Norton, confirmed on June 20 that the personal information of its employees was
compromised in yet another a MOVEit attack by the Cl0p ransomware gang.



The company stated that it was affected by a cyberattack in response to
inquiries, confirming that personal information such as names, addresses,
employee IDs, and email addresses were revealed. 

"We use MOVEit for file transfers and have remediated all of the known
vulnerabilities in the system. When we learned of this matter, we acted
immediately to protect our environment and investigate the potential impact. We
have confirmed that there was no impact to our core IT systems and our services
and that no customer or partner data has been exposed," according to Gen
Digital's public notice, which further confirmed that it informed all parties
that may have been affected, as well as data protection regulators. 

The bug, a critical-severity SQL injection tracked as CVE-2023-34362, started
out as a zero-day vulnerability that has been part of an exploitation campaign
at the hands of Cl0p ransomware gang. The attacks are ongoing even post-patch,
and has targeted more than 100 companies and organizations so far.



"As a general best practice, we advise never to directly allow for apps like
MOVEit Transfer to be directly exposed to the Internet in cloud environments,"
said Amitai Cohen, attack vector intel lead at Wiz, in an emailed
statement. "Instead, place the app behind a VPN, a reverse proxy or a single
sign-on (SSO) landing page. This strategy will help to mitigate the effect of
potential attacks exploiting vulnerable or misconfigured application endpoints
and other attacks that are similar in nature."
