July 24 (Reuters) - Commercial and Consumer bank 1st Source Corp (SRCE.O) said on Monday a security breach that involved a popular file transfer tool, MOVEit, has impacted about 450,000 records. A third party had gained access to data of its commercial and individual clients, 1st Source reported earlier this month, adding that it was in the process of identifying and notifying individual clients affected. Last month, the U.S. security researchers reported that hackers had stolen data from the systems of a number of users shortly after MOVEit's developer Progress Software Corp (PRGS.O) disclosed that a security flaw had been discovered. MOVEit, made by Massachusetts-based Progress, allows organizations to securely transfer files and data between business partners and customers.

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. MFT PROGRAMS CAN BE TEMPTING TARGETSRunning an extortion operation against a well-defended corporation is reasonably difficult, said Recorded Future analyst Allan Liska. "If you can get to one of these file transfer points, all the data is right there. HACKER TACTICS ARE SHIFTINGScooping up data that way is becoming an increasingly important part of the way hackers operate.

June 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. government has been hit in a global hacking campaign that exploited a vulnerability in widely used software but does not expect it to have significant impact, the nation's cyber watchdog agency said on Thursday. CISA did not identify the agencies that were hit or say exactly how they had been affected. The FBI and National Security Agency also did not immediately respond to emails seeking details on the breaches. MOVEit, made by Progress Software Corp (PRGS.O), is typically used by organizations to transfer files between their partners or customers. Neither Cl0p nor Progress immediately responded to requests for comment.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1 (Reuters) - Hackers have stolen data from the systems of a number of users of the popular file transfer tool MOVEit Transfer, U.S. security researchers said on Thursday, one day after the maker of the software disclosed that a security flaw had been discovered. Software maker Progress Software Corp (PRGS.O), after disclosing the vulnerability on Wednesday, said it could lead to potential unauthorized access into users' systems. The managed file transfer software made by the Burlington, Massachusetts-based company allows organizations to transfer files and data between business partners and customers. Such "zero-day," or previously unknown, vulnerabilities in managed file transfer solutions have led to data theft, leaks, extortion and victim-shaming in the past, Mandiant said. Pitt did not have a comment on who might have been trying to steal data by exploiting the flaw.
