Citrix has taken the unusual step of rebutting dark web discourse that alleges its networks have been compromised.

A Wednesday post penned by CISO Fermin J. Serna says the company is aware of “threat intelligence report circulated concerning claims made on the dark web by a threat actor alleging compromise of the Citrix network, exfiltration of data, and attempts to escalate privileges to launch a ransomware attack.” Serna said Citrix is investigating the claims but has found “no evidence that the threat actor compromised the Citrix network.” “Rather, all the evidence thus far indicates that the source of the data referenced in the intelligence report is a third party.”

That third party does, however, have some Citrix-related data. Serna described that data as “low sensitivity business contact information.”
Not the first time for Citrix. Scroll down for more info in " Similar threads ". :coffee:
