The Five Families, a notorious hacking group, has reportedly infiltrated the security systems of two prominent entities in the United States, offering unauthorized VPN access to potential buyers. The first target is an insurance company with an annual revenue of $36 million. The group claims to provide Fortinet VPN access for a price of $950, potentially compromising sensitive data and customer information.
In a separate incident, the Five Families group has targeted an internet service provider and web hosting giant with a staggering revenue of $54 billion. For access to their Fortinet VPN, the group demands a significantly higher price of $20,000, indicating the perceived value of the compromised network. These brazen attempts highlight the ongoing cybersecurity threats faced by organizations of all sizes and industries, emphasizing the need for robust defenses against such malicious activities.
