Ongoing SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) Exploitation Campaign using the OVERSTEP Backdoor
A group Google identifies as UNC6148 is exploiting the Sonicwall SMA 100 series appliance. The devices are end of life, but even fully patched devices are exploited. Google assumes that these devices are compromised because credentials were leaked during prior attacks. The attacker installs the OVERSTEP backdoor after compromising the device.
