A10 Networks has confirmed a data breach after the Play ransomware gang briefly gained access to its IT infrastructure and compromised data.
A10 Networks is a secure application services company. A10’s comprehensive solutions are trusted and help enterprise and service provider customers meet their digital business, IoT, cloud, security, and 5G demands.
Its customers include Twitter, LinkedIn, Samsung, Uber, NTT Communications, Sony Pictures, Windows Azure, Xbox, Yahoo, Alibaba, China Mobile, Comcast, Deutsche Telekom, Softbank, GE Healthcare, GoDaddy, and Huffington Post.
In an 8-K filing submitted earlier this week, the company says the security incident occurred on January 23, 2023, and lasted for a few hours before its IT team managed to stop the intrusion and contain the damage.
The company’s investigation determined that the threat actors managed to gain access to shared drives, deployed malware, and ‘compromised’ data related to human resources, finance, and legal functions.
Despite the successful network intrusion, the firm says the security incident has not impacted any of its products or solutions and cannot have affected its customers.
“Working with outside experts, the Company has contained the attack within its network and has notified the appropriate law enforcement authorities of the incident,” reads the 8-K filing.
“The Company currently does not expect this incident to have a material impact on its operations.”
