The US cybersecurity agency has issued an emergency directive following the theft of F5 source code by nation-state hackers. Federal networks face significant threats as attackers could develop new exploits using the stolen intellectual property.
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued an emergency directive warning of significant threats to federal networks after hackers stole source code from F5, Inc., according to reports. The agency indicates that a “nation-state affiliated cyber threat actor” exfiltrated sensitive files including portions of BIG-IP source code and vulnerability information, creating what analysts suggest could lead to serious network compromises.
Security firm F5 has revealed that highly sophisticated nation-state hackers breached its systems, stealing BIG-IP source code and customer configuration data. The company reportedly discovered the intrusion in early August and has since contained the threat while working with multiple security firms and law enforcement.
