SonicWall has warned that its older Secure Mobile Access (SMA) 100 series and Secure Remote Access (SRA) gateways are being attacked in the wild by crooks to spread ransomware – and as some of those devices are end-of-life, don t expect any patches to protect them.
In an emergency alert on Wednesday, the networking biz said miscreants are actively targeting the equipment to, as we understand it, steal credentials from them to compromise networks for an imminent ransomware campaign.
The SRA 4600/1600 (which went end-of-life in 2019), the SRA 4200/1200 (2016), and SSL-VPN 200/2000/400 (2013-2014) running firmware version 8.x are too out of date for SonicWall to patch, so users are told to unplug the gear and reset any account passwords that share the same credentials as the details may have been stolen.
