    FortiBleed gekoppeld aan ransomwaregroepen INC en Lynx

    The 'FortiBleed' cyber campaign, which previously exposed login credentials for thousands of Fortinet firewalls, has now been linked to the ransomware groups INC and Lynx. Forensic investigations revealed evidence on a Windows server used in the attack infrastructure, showing administrators had access to negotiation portals of both ransomware groups.
