In a Thursday statement, the jet maker revealed that an unauthorized party was able to access and steal data by exploiting a vulnerability in “a third-party file-transfer application.” While the company did not say which third-party software was compromised, the general characteristics of the incident suggest it was Accellion’s FTA service.
A 20-year-old file sharing service set to be retired on April 30, FTA was recently targeted in a cyber-attack that affected up to 100 Accellion customers, out of a total of 300 that were still using the application at the time of the attack.
