AnyDesk hacked: Remote access software confirms breach

AnyDesk, a remote access software company based in Germany, has confirmed that its production systems were compromised in a security incident. The breach affected the company’s code signing certificate, which suggests that the certificate itself was compromised. AnyDesk has stated that no end-user devices were affected and that the situation is now under control. The company has revoked all security-related certificates and is recommending that users change their passwords as a precaution. The incident has raised concerns due to the downstream damage that can occur when a remote software provider is hacked. AnyDesk has not provided any further details or indicators of compromise in its report. Security professionals have urged users to monitor their environments for anomalous activity and consider disabling AnyDesk until more information is known.
