Subj : New Relic says it's been hit by some sort of cyberattack To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Fri Nov 24 2023 15:30:06 New Relic says it's been hit by some sort of cyberattack Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2023 15:17:34 +0000 Description: Some kind of cyber-incident happened, but we don't know what kind, and New Relic isn't saying. FULL STORY ====================================================================== US-based tracking and analytics company New Relic has confirmed suffering a cyberattack, but not revealed much in the way of exactly what happened, or what the effects have been. The news was confirmed in a security bulletin the company posted online - however this lacked any concrete information, and the companys decision is to keep all relevant information to itself. We value our New Relic community and want to make our customers aware of a recent cybersecurity incident that we are working diligently to investigate with the support of third-party cybersecurity experts, the bulletin reads. Customers will be directly contacted if there are any specific actions required of you. To be clear, if you do not hear from us, there is no action you need to take at this time.

While its commendable that New Relic wants to give its customers a heads-up, this lack of context will induce a sense of paranoia. We dont know who attacked New Relic, or how. Was it malware abusing a zero-day on specific endpoints , or perhaps a brute-force attack against a poorly protected account? Was there ransomware involved? If so, did the hackers steal any valuable data? More specifically, is customer personally identifiable data (PII) compromised? We simply dont know, and while The Register tried to get answers to these questions, the company answered that everything it has to say on this matter was said in the bulletin. As always, we recommend that you remain vigilant and monitor your account for suspicious activity. Additionally, we encourage you to review Security Guides for best practices as well as our Security Bulletins for updates, New Relic concluded. We will continue to provide relevant updates as we have more information to share. We can only speculate that if users should monitor their accounts for suspicious activity login credentials could have been stolen. Best case scenario - there wont be any identity theft and everything will end with a few phishing attacks.
