Carbon Black: Bug Shared Content Files with VirusTotal

A bug led to Carbon Black software accidentally uploading 10 customers’ content files to malware-scanning service VirusTotal. Carbon Black was accused of exposing customer data via a so-called “architectural flaw” in its endpoint detection product by Denver-based Direct Defense. Some of Carbon Black’s customers had switched on the feature to share files with VirusTotal, which is off by default. The situation could potentially result in the exposure of sensitive data, depending on what is in the files. The files have now been removed from VirusTotal as of Aug. 13.”]
