2019 will be remembered as the year when major security bugs were disclosed in a large number of enterprise VPN servers, such as those sold by Pulse Secure, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and Citrix.

A new report published today reveals that Iran's government-backed hacking units have made a top priority last year to exploit VPN bugs as soon as they became public in order to infiltrate and plant backdoors in companies all over the world.

According to a report from cyber-security firm ClearSky, Iranian hackers have targeted companies "from the IT, Telecommunication, Oil, and Gas, Aviation, Government, and Security sectors."

    You're only as good as your weakest link but Citrix, really?  Where I work we have a pretty good handle on patching etc but black boxes always scare me...  And here we have yet another reason why...

    Yeah when I saw Citrix part of that, I had the same reaction.  It amazes me how many folks will sign up for 'free VPN service' on a mobile device.  Those are the first ones to stay away from.
