Is Truist being hacked? Any idea why vpn is down across the company? I know we’ve had a lot of turnover in our tech areas. Did we layoff the wrong people?

Managers instructed contractors not to charge time for the time VPN was down.
It was interesting that it didn't impact the offshore teammates.
@a5 - I'M BEHIND NO LOGS VPN. USING BROWSER THAT BLOCKS COOKIES AND BROWSER FINGERPRINTING! BO-M!
@a5 seems like a threat
@an a lot of teammates chose to use vacation/sick time over driving in. Can't say I blame them. But as someone who is required to swipe a badge and sit in a desk for 8 hours a day, 4 days a week while others who do the exact same job, are allowed to WFH in their PJs, I chuckled listening to those same PJ wearing entilted teammates complaining about a half day in the office.
@am it says:
“ A vulnerability in the VPN web server of Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to improper validation of user-supplied input in HTTP(S) requests. An attacker with valid VPN user credentials could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code as root, possibly resulting in the complete compromise of the affected device.”
Contractors today were instructed to return to office with the vpn outage to continue work. All refused!! LMAO. Concerning to observe a grown adult refusing to drive 10 minutes given their "remote work" arrangements. Rumors have floated of the technology teams moonlighting jobs but never highlighted the issue until today.
@ae what does it say? Can’t find it anywhere.
Cisco has published an alert about this. The issue is on Cisco’s end.
I cannot believe it has been down so long.
