FortiBleed: 75,000 Fortinet Firewalls Compromised: Global Enterprises Exposed – Claim Your Ethical Disclosure

A large, automated cyber-crime campaign (dubbed “FortiBleed” in the report) targeted exposed Fortinet Firewalls and SSL VPNs worldwide, compromising approximately 73,932 firewall URLs and 21,632 domains by performing massive credential stuffing and cracking (1.16 billion credential attempts plus extensive MSSQL brute-force). The attackers used infostealers and a 45-GPU cracking cluster (Hashtopolis), logged successful breaches, and achieved full network compromises with document exfiltration from multiple countries and high-profile victims; the report urges immediate credential rotation, universal MFA, and log/audit monitoring.
