This week on Risk Radar, Smarttech247 CTO Robert Kehoe highlights three security issues CISOs, IT leaders and security teams should review.

First, nearly 74,000 verified Fortinet admin credentials have reportedly been leaked and are now in the hands of attackers. Robert explains why organisations using Fortinet firewalls or VPNs should reset admin credentials and apply the latest Fortinet patches.

Next, Robert covers a critical zero-day vulnerability in Check Point VPN software, which could allow unauthenticated access, lateral movement and potential data exfiltration. The vulnerability is currently being actively exploited by the Qilin ransomware group.

Finally, Robert gives an update on current ransomware activity, including Qilin, ShinyHunters and The Gentlemen, and explains why security teams should review relevant IoCs and take action quickly.

Watch the full update for Robert’s key takeaways and what organisations should check next.
