73,000+ working Fortinet FortiGate VPN credentials. Cracked. Circulating. Right now.
The FortiBleed campaign didn't require a new vulnerability. A Russian-speaking threat group ran 1.16 billion authentication attempts against internet-facing FortiGate appliances, intercepted SSL VPN authentication hashes, and cracked them with a 45-GPU cluster. The resulting database — covering AT&T, Chevron, Siemens, Samsung, and government agencies across 194 countries — is now in criminal hands.
If you're running a FortiGate SSL VPN and haven't reset credentials and terminated active sessions, this week's post explains exactly why you need to do so today.

"We'll lock it down later" is how AWS misconfigurations become headlines.
