The incident was first reported by CRN.<\/p>\n<p>However, it did not reveal the exact number of customers who were impacted by the hack, when it happened, or the identity of the threat actor behind it.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that the company, in late April 2025, patched CVE-2025-3935 (CVSS score: 8.1), a high-severity vulnerability in ScreenConnect versions 25.2.3 and earlier that could be exploited for ViewState code injection attacks using publicly disclosed ASP.NET machine keys \u2013 a technique Microsoft disclosed earlier this February.<\/p>\n<p>![Cybersecurity](data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mP8Xw8AAoMBgDTD2qgAAAAASUVORK5CYII=)<\/p>\n<p>The issue was addressed in ScreenConnect version 25.2.4. That said, it&#8217;s currently not known if the cyber attack is linked to the exploitation of the vulnerability.<\/p>\n<p>ConnectWise said it has implemented enhanced monitoring and hardening measures across its environment to prevent such attacks from happening again in the future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have not observed any further suspicious activity in any customer instances,&#8221; it added, stating it&#8217;s closely monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n<p>In early 2024, security flaws in ConnectWise ScreenConnect software (CVE-2024-1708 and CVE-2024-1709) were exploited by both cybercrime and nation-state threat actors, including those from China, North Korea, and Russia, to deliver a variety of malicious payloads.<\/p>\n<p>Found this article interesting?
