Progress Prompts ShareFile Storage Zone Controller Shutdown Amid Security Concerns
Enterprise software giant Progress Software on Friday prompted ShareFile customers to shut down Storage Zone Controller servers amid security concerns.
A Storage Zone Controller provides ShareFile customers with private data storage, either on-premises or on a third-party storage system, that is protected with an application-specific password and is self-managed.
On Friday, the company notified customers that it had disabled access to ShareFile accounts using the Storage Zone Controllers and that it is investigating a ‘credible external security threat’.
“We are aware of a credible external security threat targeting Progress ShareFile Storage Zone Controllers,” a message on the company’s forums reads.
Progress also told customers that, as an additional protection measure, they should manually shut down their Storage Zone Controllers.
“Please manually shut down the server hosting your Storage Zone Controllers as soon as possible while Progress continues its assessment with cybersecurity experts,” the company’s message reads.
