In the increasingly dangerous world of cybercrime, Brian Krebs faces threats, manipulation and the odd chess challenge

On Thursday, February 2, 2023, security reporter Brian Krebs published a warning on Mastodon about an actively exploited zero-day vulnerability affecting on-premise instances of Fortra’s GoAnywhere MFT managed file transfer solution. Fortra (formerly HelpSystems) evidently published an advisory on February 1 behind authentication; there is no publicly accessible advisory.

GoAnywhere MFT, a popular file transfer application, is warning about a zero-day remote code injection exploit. The company said it has temporarily implemented a service outage in response.
