The French cybersecurity agency warned that an attack similar to one used by Russian military hackers has been penetrating companies that use Centreon software for three years.
The attack started in late 2017 and continued into 2020, watchdog ANSSI said in a report. A representative for ANSSI declined to identify groups that may have been exposed in the hack, but said that the attack was now over.
