/ 1 min read
🔐✨ Cloud Software Group warns of rising password spraying attacks on NetScaler appliances. A recent surge in password spraying attacks targeting NetScaler/NetScaler Gateway has been reported globally, overwhelming authentication systems and potentially causing operational disruptions. Unlike brute force attacks, these involve attempting a small set of common passwords across many accounts, making detection challenging. Cloud Software Group has collaborated with affected customers to analyze the situation and has recommended several mitigations, including enabling multi-factor authentication, creating specific responder policies, and utilizing Web Application Firewall (WAF) protections. The company emphasizes the importance of proactive measures to safeguard against these attacks, which can lead to excessive logging and appliance instability.
