CORPORATE DROPBOXESFTA, GoAnywhere MFT, and MOVEit Transfer are corporate versions of file sharing programs consumers use all the time, like Dropbox or WeTransfer. MFT software often promises the ability to automate the movement of data, transfer documents at scale and provide fine-grained control over who can access what.

☆ Rio Tinto data vendor GoAnywhere's possible breach spotted in Jan-end
  + stars: | 2023-03-24 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
March 24 (Reuters) - U.S. cybersecurity firm Fortra said suspicious activity was identified within its GoAnywhere software nearly two months ago, a day after Rio Tinto (RIO.AX) in a staff memo said personal data of some of its Australian employees may have been stolen. "We immediately took multiple steps to address this, including implementing a temporary outage of this service to prevent any further unauthorized activity." Fortra declined to comment on specific customers when asked about Rio Tinto, but said it was notifying potentially affected customers who may have been impacted and coordinating with the U.S.' Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Over the past few weeks, a host of global firms and government institutions have reported cybersecurity incidents linked to GoAnywhere, a vendor providing data transfer services and owned by Minnesota-based Fortra.
