AnyDesk Breach Feb 2024
The recent AnyDesk hack involved a significant security breach where hackers gained access to the company's production systems. This incident led AnyDesk, a popular remote desktop software provider with over 170,000 customers worldwide, including major corporations like Comcast, LG, Samsung, and Thales, to initiate a lockdown of their systems for nearly a week​​. The company took immediate action by revoking all security-related certificates, replacing compromised systems where necessary, and invalidating all passwords to AnyDesk’s customer web portal. Although the specific nature of the cyberattack was not disclosed, AnyDesk confirmed that the incident was not related to ransomware and assured that there is no evidence of any end-user systems being affected. They also urged users to update to the latest version of their software, which includes a new code signing certificate​​.
Further investigations into the breach indicated that the attack might have been an attempted supply chain attack, aiming to deliver trojanized software to AnyDesk's customers. Following the breach, cybersecurity firm Resecurity reported that credentials for more than 18,000 AnyDesk customers were offered for sale on a prominent cybercrime forum, highlighting the urgency for users to change their passwords, especially if the same credentials are used elsewhere​​.
This incident underscores the continuous threat that companies face from cybercriminals, including those that provide widely used software like AnyDesk. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining up-to-date security measures, including the use of strong, unique passwords and the latest software versions​​​​.
For more detailed information on the breach and AnyDesk's response, you can refer to the reports on TechCrunch​​, SecurityWeek​​, and BleepingComputer​​.
