Fortinet firewalls hit by huge password-stealing attack — around 75,000 users possibly affected

Password manager example.

• Researcher Bob Diachenko uncovers “FortiBleed,” a massive archive of 73,932 Fortinet/FortiGate VPN credentials from brute‑force and exploitation campaigns
• Data included plaintext usernames, emails, and passwords for major firms (Chevron, Samsung, Toyota, AT&T, NATO contractor, etc.), with billions of login attempts logged
• Fortinet says leak is a resharing of past incidents and brute‑forced data, urging password rotation and MFA to minimize risk

A database containing tens of thousands of login credentials for major global corporations was found sitting online, in one of the larger data leak incidents this year.
