76% of SonicWall Firewalls Vulnerable: Hackers Can Shutdown Networks of Thousands of Companies

Bishop Fox Discovers Over 178,000 Vulnerable Sonicwall Screens

Bishop Fox IB-company has recently made a shocking discovery regarding a major vulnerability in over 178,000 new generation interlter screens Sonicwall (Next-Generation Firewalls, NGFW). These screens, which possess an online control interface, are highly susceptible to potential cybersecurity threats.

Details of the Vulnerability

The vulnerability in question exposes the Sonicwall screens to potential Disk Operating System (DOS) attacks. DOS, an operating system widely used in the 1980s and early 1990s, is primarily designed to manage operations relying on hard drives and other data storage devices, including floppy disks.

Operating through command lines, DOS allows its users to enter instructions to perform various tasks such as running applications, navigating the file system, creating and deleting files, and formatting discs.

Immediate Action Required

Given the widespread usage of Sonicwall Next-Generation Firewalls, it is imperative that all affected users take immediate action to strengthen their cybersecurity measures. Bishop Fox IB is working closely with Sonicwall to develop and deploy necessary patches and updates to mitigate the vulnerability.
