Accellion failed to notify customers of a zero-day vulnerability in its file transfer application (FTA) and related cyber-attacks targeting the security flaw, according to a new report from professional services firm KPMG.
FTA is a large file transfer service that was retired at the end of April 2021, after being in use for roughly 20 years. In mid-December, Accellion identified a critical vulnerability in the service and later discovered in-the-wild hacking attempts targeting the flaw.
