Cyberattack at IT Management Software Firm ConnectWise

IT management software firm ConnectWise says a suspected state-sponsored cyberattack breached its environment and impacted a limited number of ScreenConnect customers. "ConnectWise recently learned of suspicious activity within our environment that we believe was tied to a sophisticated nation state actor, which affected a very small number of ScreenConnect customers," ConnectWise shared in a brief advisory.

ConnectWise did not answer BleepingComputer's questions about how many customers were impacted, when the breach occurred, or whether any malicious activity was observed in customers' ScreenConnect instances. However, a source told BleepingComputer that the breach occurred in August 2024.
