Security threat prompts Progress to disable ShareFile accounts, tell customers to shut down servers

A “credible external security threat” targeting Progress Software’s ShareFile Storage Zone Controllers (SZC) – the on-premises, customer-managed server components where organizations store files shared via this popular enterprise platform – has spurred the company to disable access to ShareFile accounts that are using them. The warning was sent to customers via email on July 10, urging them to manually shut down the server that is hosting their Storage Zone Controllers.
