UK Internet Domain Registry Nominet Suffers Cyber Attack www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php…

The UK internet domain registry, Nominet, has confirmed to ISPreview that their network has suffered an “unauthorised intrusion” after hackers exploited a “zero-day vulnerability” in the Virtual Private Network (VPN) software they use, which is supplied by Ivanti and enables their people to access systems remotely.

We became aware of suspicious activity on our network late last week. The entry point was through third-party VPN software supplied by Ivanti that enables our people to access systems remotely.

However, we currently have no evidence of data breach or leakage. We already operate restricted access protocols and firewalls to protect our registry systems.

The unauthorised intrusion into our network exploited a zero-day vulnerability.
