Check Point Acknowledges Data Breach, Claims Information is ‘Old

Check Point confirmed a breach allegedly tied to CoreInjection, stating it stemmed from compromised credentials of a portal account in December 2024 and affected a small number of tenant records without impacting customer systems; security researchers, however, highlight inconsistencies—citing a screenshot of 121,120 accounts (18,864 paying), potential admin-level capabilities, and no public December disclosure—raising concerns about the true scope, initial access vector, and potential impact.
