🚨 If your business uses a Fortinet firewall or VPN, please read this.

Researchers have confirmed an active cyberattack campaign — now being called "FortiBleed" — that has compromised approximately 80,000 Fortinet firewall and VPN devices globally, spanning 194 countries.

This isn't theoretical. Attackers have already:

🔴 Built a database of 30,000+ working Fortinet login credentials
🔴 Targeted Fortune 500 companies AND government agencies
🔴 Been quietly inside some networks since at least February 2026

Here's what makes this especially dangerous for small businesses:

Most of these organizations had no idea they were compromised. Attackers weren't crashing systems — they were watching. Logging credentials. Mapping networks. Waiting for the right moment.

Fortinet firewalls are incredibly common. They're in banks, medical offices, law firms, accounting practices, and small businesses across the country. If you have one and haven't verified your firmware version and credentials recently, now is the time.

What to do RIGHT NOW:

✅ Identify whether your network uses any Fortinet device (firewall, VPN, FortiGate)
✅ Contact your IT provider and ask specifically about FortiBleed exposure
✅ Verify that your firmware is fully patched and up to date
✅ Reset VPN credentials and admin passwords — even if you think you're fine
✅ Check your cyber insurance policy — many require timely breach notification

⚠️ Heads up to all business owners — Microsoft's June 2026 update may be crashing your Office apps.

If Word, Excel, or PowerPoint have been acting up lately, you're not imagining it.

Microsoft has confirmed that the latest mandatory Windows 11 update (KB5094126) broke OLE automation — a component that allows your other business apps to "talk" to Office. The result:

🔴 Word, Excel, and PowerPoint crash when called by third-party software
🔴 Dental management systems, accounting platforms, and document tools are affected
🔴 Some HP business PCs are rebooting into recovery mode after the update
🔴 The Recycle Bin can't correctly detect file names

The tricky part? If you open Word manually, it works fine. The crash only happens when another app tries to launch it in the background — which makes this hard to diagnose on your own.

What should you do?

✅ Check if your team is experiencing random Office crashes or app errors
✅ Verify your Windows 11 build number: Settings > System > About (look for Build 26200.8655 or 26100.8655)
✅ Contact your IT provider before applying or rolling back updates — doing it wrong can cause bigger issues
✅ Microsoft is working on a fix, but it hasn't shipped yet

This is exactly the kind of issue that flies under the radar until it causes real downtime. If you're a Safe Haven IT client, we're already on it. If you're not — and you want someone watching your systems so you don't have to — let's talk.
