Progress Software Advises ShareFile Customers to Shut Down Storage Zone Controllers Amid Credible Threat

Progress Software has instructed ShareFile customers to shut down the Windows servers that run their Storage Zone Controllers in response to a credible external security threat. The company confirmed the threat through The Hacker News and temporarily disabled access to affected accounts as a precautionary measure. The Storage Zone Controllers are critical components that manage file storage and replication for ShareFile. By shutting them down, Progress aims to prevent potential exploitation of vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity or confidentiality. The advisory does not specify the exact vulnerability but emphasizes the importance of immediate action to protect customer data. ShareFile users are expected to resume operations once Progress completes its investigation and releases a fix.
