The threat actor, known as “Fortibitch,” claims to have tried to extort Fortinet into paying a ransom, likely to prevent the publishing of data, but the company refused to pay.

In response to questions about incident, Fortinet confirmed that customer data was stolen from a “third-party cloud-based shared file drive.”

Fortinet’s website later stated that less than 0.3% of its customers were affected by the incident, and there was no malicious activity targeting them.

The cybersecurity company confirmed that the incident did not involve data encryption, ransomware, or access to Fortinet’s network.

Cyberdaily.au said, “The incident reportedly affected customers within the Asia-Pacific region. Home Affairs confirmed it was aware of the incident but provided no further details.”

“The National Office of Cyber Security is aware of reports regarding a potential cyber incident impacting Fortinet and stands ready to assist, if required,” it said.
