HPE has disclosed that data repositories for their Aruba Central network monitoring platform were compromised, allowing a threat actor to access collected data about monitored devices and their locations.
Aruba Central is a cloud networking solution that allows administrators to manage large networks and components from a single dashboard.
HPE disclosed today that a threat actor obtained an "access key" that allowed them to view customer data stored in the Aruba Central environment. The threat actor had access for 18 days between October 9th, 2021, and October 27th, when HPE revoked the key.
