Sam BowneHOST
They've got...
Sam BowneHOST
They take over a whole chain of connected devices compromised on demand for one attack, including routers from TP-Link and Netgear and FortiGate firewalls.
Sam BowneHOST
They target U.S. critical infrastructure with zero-day exploits, and they rebuild a new path in for each attack.
Sam BowneHOST
So it sounds pretty sophisticated.
Drew Connery-MurrayHOST
announced on October 26th new capabilities to secure AI usage called FortiGuard inline AI security service.
Drew Connery-MurrayHOST
It's a cloud delivered service that uses your existing FortiGates as inspection and control points.
Drew Connery-MurrayHOST
The service can examine text, audio, images, and video for sensitive data.
Drew Connery-MurrayHOST
It also looks at prompts, model responses, MCP tool calls, and API activity to look for malicious intent.

TiberiusHOST
This is your subject.
TiberiusHOST
I'm going to let you rant about FortiGate for a bit.
TiberiusHOST
Oh, you mean
Andy SwiftHOST
FortiMail? FortiMail.
Andy SwiftHOST
Maybe.
TiberiusHOST
I mean, FortiGate has had a ton of stuff going on recently, including you throwing them out of your car's trunk.
Andy SwiftHOST
I do do quite a lot.
Andy SwiftHOST
Yeah, I do do that.
MarkHOST
I think we're going to have to start to consider automatic updates as the safest thing to do, even though that does expose different types of risk.
JoshHOST
FortiGate or Fortinet already requires that.
JoshHOST
And this week, or I guess it was last week, when they released that patch for the PHP vulnerability, it wasn't available yet.
JoshHOST
in the auto update portal for the, for the firewall to see it.
JoshHOST
Everybody that I know that has a gate was going out to the support portal, downloading the firmware and applying, then applying it the night it came up, except for one person and he'll remain nameless.
MarkHOST
But I think, I think across the board, I think applications, software applications, infrastructure, we're going to start to see automatic updates has to be the norm.
MarkHOST
And like, like you said, FortiGate requiring it.
ChrisHOST
Well, you talk about the whole being an old guy.
Gerald AugerHOST
Compromises some TP-Link router.
Gerald AugerHOST
then jumps over into Netgear, FortiGate, FortiGate being the, the Fortinet VPN, you know, interface, and then the victim organization.
Gerald AugerHOST
This thing is like really going way down the pipeline here, but yeah, I do want to point out one thing.
Gerald AugerHOST
They added TP link here.
Jerry BellHOST
If you only do one thing today, take your firewall and VPN admin logins off the internet.
Jerry BellHOST
One, attackers are getting into FortiGate firewalls by guessing the admin password.
Jerry BellHOST
The attackers tried passwords like admin and FortiGate on firewalls with their admin logins open to the internet.
Jerry BellHOST
Then downloaded each firewalls config and decrypted the secrets stored inside.
Jerry BellHOST
FortiOS encrypts those secrets with a built-in default key unless you set your own.
Jerry BellHOST
Take your Fortinet admin logins off the internet.
Jerry BellHOST
If a config may have left, change every directory account stored in it.
Jerry BellHOST
Apparently FortiGate is still a popular password for a FortiGate.
Jerry BellHOST
While you're in there, look at which other vendor apps hold admin roles.
Jerry BellHOST
Number two, attackers are already using a FortiOS flaw that turned an admin login into root on FortiGate firewalls.
Jerry BellHOST
It started with a break-in at a telecom MSP's FortiManager through a flaw from twenty twenty-four.
Jerry BellHOST
From there, they took the settings for more than five hundred firewalls and later came in over a VPN with real credentials.
Andy SwiftHOST
I just want my internet to play games in the evenings sometimes and to do my work on.
Andy SwiftHOST
I don't need any other crap in the middle." And I'm saying that with bits of FortiGate underneath my desk, but I isolate my research-
Tommy DeVossGUEST
Mm-hmm
Andy SwiftHOST
... to a thing at a time.
