A widespread issue dubbed FortiBleed has been reported, involving the large-scale exposure and abuse of credentials targeting internet-facing FortiGate devices. This problem stems from credential reuse and brute-force attacks, rather than a new vulnerability. The risk is particularly high for devices lacking multi-factor authentication or those with previously compromised credentials.
A recent 30-day analysis revealed over 457 million AI-related security issues across more than 7,000 organizations, averaging 62,000 exposures per company. These issues are largely due to misconfigurations and unmanaged dependencies, rather than traditional CVEs. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive exposure management programs to address the growing risks posed by both approved and unapproved AI tools.
