Progress Told ShareFile Customers to Pull the Plug on Their Servers. Here\u2019s What We Know.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Progress urged ShareFile Storage Zone customers to shut down internet-facing servers immediately over a credible security threat under investigation.<\/h2>\n

Progress Software sent an urgent email to ShareFile customers the evening of July 10 with a subject line that left no room for ambiguity: \u201cService Disruption.

Progress confirmed it\u2019s responding to a credible external security threat and said it took the access-disabling step out of an \u201cabundance of caution\u201d while working with internal and external security experts. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have reason to believe there is a credible external security threat targeting Progress Software\u2019s ShareFile Storage Zone Controllers. Currently, we have no indication of unauthorized access to any Progress ShareFile accounts or data. As a precaution, we have temporarily disabled access to ShareFile accounts using the Storage Zone Controllers, including yours.\u201d reads the letter. \u201cIMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED: You must…<\/p>\n
