Whistleblower: Ubiquiti Breach “Catastrophic”
&gt; “The breach was massive, customer data was at risk, access to customers’ devices deployed in corporations and homes around the world was at risk.”<p>&gt; “They were able to get cryptographic secrets for single sign-on cookies and remote access, full source code control contents, and signing keys exfiltration,”<p>Maybe putting your network control plane in &#x27;the cloud&#x27; isn&#x27;t such a good idea after all...<p>Edit: Just re-read the article, this part stood out:<p>&gt; the attacker(s) had access to privileged credentials that were previously stored in the LastPass account of a Ubiquiti IT employee, and gained root administrator access to all Ubiquiti AWS accounts, including all S3 data buckets, all application logs, all databases, all user database credentials, and secrets required to forge single sign-on (SSO) cookies.<p>&gt; Adam says Ubiquiti’s security team picked up signals in late December 2020 that someone with administrative access had set up several Linux virtual machines that weren’t accounted for.<p>If this is true, and whoever breached them had full access to their AWS account, can we really trust them to clean up all their tokens and fully eradicate all forms of persistence the hackers may have gotten?
