Heartbleed broke into vir(t)ual private network !
But this time Hearthbleed it used exploit on firmware that has to be replaced, not updated, and was used to break into a virtual private network (VPN), bypassing the network's multifactor authentication entirely.
An unspecified attacker exploited the bug on an unnamed company's VPN concentrator, an appliance that provides secure remote connectivity to a private network such as one a company might use in its office. Washington D.C.-based security company Mandiant discovered the attack, which began on Apr. 8, just a day after the Heartbleed bug became public knowledge.
