Ransomware attack, according to Rackspace, is what triggered the outage.

Today, Texas-based Rackspace, a supplier of cloud computing services, disclosed that a Hosted Exchange outage that has been called a “isolated incident” is actually the result of a ransomware attack.

In an addendum to the initial incident report, the business stated, “As you know, on Friday, December 2nd, 2022, we became aware of suspicious activity and promptly took aggressive measures to isolate the Hosted Exchange environment to contain the situation.”

Since then, “We’ve found that this unusual activity was caused by a ransomware outbreak.”

The investigation, which is being conducted by a cyber defence company and Rackspace’s internal security team, is still in its early stages, according to Rackspace, and it is unclear “what, if any, data was compromised.”

If the cloud service provider discovers proof that the attackers had access to their sensitive data, it promises to alert the clients.

In a press release, the company noted, “Based on the investigation to far, Rackspace Technology believes that this problem was isolated to its Hosted Exchange business.”

Other services and products offered by Rackspace Technology are fully functional, and the company’s Email product line and platform have not been impacted.

In today’s press release and an 8-K SEC filing, the company also stated that it anticipates a loss of income as a result of the ransomware attack’s effects on its $30 million Hosted Exchange business.

Despite the fact that Rackspace Technology is still investigating the incident, the company stated that it “has caused and may continue to cause an interruption in its Hosted Exchange business and may result in a loss of revenue for the Hosted Exchange business, which generates approximately $30 million in revenue annually in the Apps & Cross Platform segment.”

Additionally, Rackspace Technology may incur additional expenses as a result of its reaction to the event.

All services in Rackspace’s Hosted Exchange environment, including MAPI/RPC, POP, IMAP, SMTP, and ActiveSync, as well as the Outlook Web Access (OWA) user interface that allows access to online email management, are still affected by the outage.

The corporation first reported the outage on its status page on Friday night at 02:49 AM EST, which is four days after today’s notification.

Twenty-four hours later, Rackspace disclosed the real cause of the outage, citing a security incident that was “contained to a piece of our Hosted Exchange platform” and required them to shut down and disconnect the Hosted Exchange environment.

Due to the incomplete information, some of the customer’s suspicions that the downtime might be the result of malware or ransomware attacks were validated today by the company.

Until the outage is fixed, Rackspace has been offering impacted customers free Microsoft Exchange Plan 1 licences and comprehensive instructions on how to migrate their email to Microsoft 365 (details on activating the free licences and moving users’ mailboxes to Microsoft 365 are available in Rackspace’s incident report). This service has been available starting on Friday evening.

Additionally, the business offers customers a stopgap remedy while they transition to Microsoft 365: a forwarding choice that will automatically divert every email sent to a Hosted Exchange user to an outside email account.

“We are unable to give a timeframe for the restoration of the Hosted Exchange environment at this time. Where possible, we are aiming to offer customers inbox archives to eventually import into Microsoft 365 “The update from today includes Rackspace.

Critical GitLab flaw permits account takeover by attackers

Critical GitLab flaw permits account takeover by attackers

GitLab has patched a critical severity flaw that may have let remote attackers exploit hardcoded passwords to seize control of user accounts.

Both the Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition of GitLab are impacted by the flaw, which was identified internally and is designated CVE-2022-1162 (EE).

During OmniAuth-based registration in GitLab CE/EE, static passwords were unintentionally set, which led to this vulnerability.

In a security advisory released on Thursday, the GitLab team stated that “a hardcoded password was set for accounts registered using an OmniAuth provider (e.g. OAuth, LDAP, SAML) in GitLab CE/EE versions 14.7 prior to 14.7.7, 14.8 prior to 14.8.5, and 14.9 prior to 14.9.2 allowing attackers to potentially take over accounts.”

In order to thwart such assaults, GitLab strongly advised users to update all GitLab installations right away to the most recent versions (14.9.2, 14.8.5, or 14.7.7).

We STRONGLY RECOMMEND UPGRADING TO THE LATEST VERSION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS RUNNING A VERSION AFFECTED BY THE ISSUES DESCRIB

A code patch made two days ago reveals that GitLab removed the ‘lib/gitlab/password.rb’ file, which was used to give the ‘TEST DEFAULT’ constant a shoddy hardcoded password.

Some GitLab users had their passwords reset.
GitLab also stated that as part of the CVE-2022-1162 mitigation effort, it reset a select few GitLab.com users’ passwords.

Additionally, it did not discover any proof that any accounts had been compromised by hackers exploiting the hardcoded password security weakness.

As of 15:38 UTC, “We completed a reset of GitLab.com passwords for a chosen selection of users,” the GitLab staff stated.

Although there is no evidence to suggest that users’ or accounts’ security has been compromised, we are nonetheless taking precautions for our users’ safety.

A GitLab representative provided the information already included in the advisory with BleepingComputer when asked how many Gitlab.com users had their passwords reset, adding that they only did it for “a selected set of people.”

A programme to recognise affected user accounts
GitLab has developed a script that self-managed instance administrators can use to find user accounts that might be affected by CVE-2022-1162, despite the fact that the firm claims no user accounts have been compromised so far.

Administrators are urged to reset the users’ passwords after identifying any user accounts that might have been impacted.

GitLab claims that over 100,000 businesses utilise its DevOps platform, and it has over 30 million estimated registered users from 66 different nations.
