Federal agencies are working to patch systems. Researchers reportedly released proof-of-concept code, potentially allowing attackers to use the code to launch attacks. CISA said Friday that it “assumes active exploitation of this vulnerability is occurring in the wild.”
Although the CISA alert only applies to federal government networks, the agency is“strongly” encouraging companies and consumers to patch their systems as soon as possible. Federal networks must immediately comply. Businesses, state, and local agencies, as well as individual consumers should also act.
Last month, Interpol issued a warning that cyberattacks are increasing exponentially, during the coronavirus pandemic.
