Kiteworks urges customers to stop using platform after warning from federal intelligence agencies

Kiteworks issued an urgent advisory asking customers to temporarily shut down systems after receiving credible federal intelligence that a threat actor may attempt to target Kiteworks systems, possibly via a zero-day. The company reports no confirmed compromise or public CVE, but the warning — combined with Kiteworks' (formerly Accellion) history of being exploited by Clop in 2020 — prompted an atypical precautionary shutdown recommendation.
