Hackers have been using compromised VPN servers to steal sensitive information from connected VPN clients, security researchers warn.
Researchers from AmberWolf discovered flaws in SonicWall NetExtender and Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect VPN clients that allowed criminals to trick people into connecting to malicious servers.
The vulnerabilities, named NachoVPN, enabled attackers to steal login credentials, install malware through software updates, and perform other malicious actions.
AmberWolf reported the vulnerabilities to the respective organizations and shared an open-source tool called NachoVPN to simulate the attack.
