Over the past 60 days, I have observed scanning activity to discover FortiGate SSL VPN unpatched services. Fortinet has fixed several critical vulnerabilities in SSL VPN and web firewall this year from Remote Code Execution (RCE) to SQL Injection, Denial of Service (DoS) which impact the FortiProxy SSL VPN and FortiWeb Web Application Firewall (WAF) products [1][2]. Two weeks ago, US-CERT [4] released an alert re-iterating that APT actors are looking for Fortinet vulnerabilities to gain access to networks. Additional information to look for signs of this activity available here.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
