Washington state auditor says office was not notified about vulnerability in Accellion’s file transfer product. Hackers exploited a flaw in the product, called File Transfer Appliance, to access 1.4 million unemployment claimants records. The state’s auditor says the office was never notified of the vulnerability and that a fix was available. The company says it issued a patch in December 2020 and alerted all affected customers. In January, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand disclosed that hackers infiltrated its network after compromising its file-sharing system.”]
