I have decided to create a new timeline tracking the high-impact vulnerabilities targeting both remote access technologies and internet-facing servers, and exploited by cyber criminals to implant ransomware or, even worse, to accumulate compromised credentials to sell in the flourishing market of the initial access brokers.
I called it the perfect storm, since there might have been no worse period for these vulnerabilities to be exploited since, after the pandemic, remote access technologies such as VPN concentrators, are playing a fundamental role to let the distributed workforce access the internal resources, in many cases not conceived to be exposed directly in the internet.
