Check Point witnesses a major data breach
By MYBRANDBOOK
According to a recent news, Check Point has been breached. Data records of over 5k ZoneAlarm forum users have been hacked.
Check Point has acquired several other companies, and ZoneAlarm is one of them. It acquired it in March 2004. ZoneAlarm provides firewalls and antivirus products, and it is ironic that they have been hacked themselves. Check Point’s main business is to provide cybersecurity solutions and keep their customers safe.
A file containing 5175 unique records allegedly belonging to ZoneAlarm was found. It contained emails, hashed passwords, birth dates and IPs of ZoneAlarm forum users.
There has been however no public admission of the breach by either Check Point or ZoneAlarm.
Check Point failed to patch its forum software several weeks after vBulletin developers released patches for CVE-2019–16759 vulnerability. This vulnerability was reported on September 24, 2019, but patches were released on September 26, 2019, two days later. It may not be the most bruising data breach on record. However, it is a bruising security failure for a company that claims to the leader in cybersecurity solutions.
