A recently surfaced threat actor group, known as “Belsen Group”, has leaked a 1.6GB archive online containing sensitive information from over 15,000 FortiGate devices. The leaked data includes IP addresses, passwords, and configurations, categorized by country names for analysis purposes. This data breach, although confirmed to be two years old, was made public for the first time on a dark web forum by the group. The archive was obtained by exploiting a zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2022–40684, affecting FortiOS versions 7.0.0-7.0.6 and 7.2.0-7.2.2. Security analysts have since verified the authenticity of the leaked data, linking it to the mentioned vulnerability. The Belsen Group offered this data as a gift to the public as part of their debut operation to establish their presence within the cybersecurity realm.
