Hackers apparently reverse engineered our code and found some bug we had, which we had already fixed, and are exploiting it for anyone who has not stayed up to date. |

We believe this bug was in builds prior to July 1st time period roughly...we are not fully certain of the exact bug that is being exploited, but it appears the latest versions of CrushFTP already have the issue patched. The attack vector was HTTP(S) for how they could exploit the server. |

As always we recommend regularly and frequent patching. |
We believe this bug was in builds prior to July 1st time period roughly...the latest versions of CrushFTP already have the issue patched. The attack vector was HTTP(S) for how they could exploit the server. We had fixed a different issue related to AS2 in HTTP(S) not realizing that prior bug could be used like this exploit was. Hackers apparently saw our code change, and figured out a way to exploit the prior bug. |

We don't believe people with a DMZ CrushFTP in front of their main are affected by this. |
As always we recommend regularly and frequent patching. Anyone who had kept up to date was spared from this exploit. |

These zip files cannot be extracted with native windows unzip and need winrar or macos or winzip etc to extract them. |
These zip files cannot be extracted with native windows unzip and you need 7Zip, winrar or macos or winzip etc to extract them. You can also just delete your default user and CrushFTP will re-create it for you, but you won't have any prior customizations you might have done. |

Review upload/download reports for anything transferred. Hackers re-used scripts from prior exploits to deploy things on CrushFTP servers. We recommend restoring to July 16th time period just to avoid anything that might have been done. While we saw the major bulk of exploits in the morning of July 18th, the actual exploits may have been occuring a day earlier while administrators were asleep.\\ |
