Brief
Kiteworks has urged customers worldwide to temporarily shut down their servers after receiving law-enforcement threat intelligence indicating that a cyberattack targeting Kiteworks systems may be imminent.
The company said the move is preventive and that it has no evidence of a confirmed compromise.
The warning affects organizations using Kiteworks’ secure file-transfer and communications products, which enterprises and public-sector entities widely use to exchange sensitive data.
