SonicWall Warns NetExtender Tool Hijacked by Trojan

SonicWall warns NetExtender tool users to be on alert after discovering a tampered version of the application embedding data-theft capabilities. The company identified that attackers modified the legitimate NetExtender VPN client, inserting malicious code designed to capture user information. This development raises concerns for enterprises relying on the tool for secure remote access.

According to SonicWall, the infected version appears authentic but silently runs unauthorized processes that steal credentials and other sensitive data. SonicWall warns NetExtender tool users to verify the source of their software and avoid downloading from unofficial channels. The company has not disclosed how many users may be affected or how the trojanized file is being distributed.

SonicWall urges all users to update their software only through trusted sources and to scan their systems for unusual activity. The company continues investigating the incident to prevent further exploitation.
