URGENT - Progress Tells ShareFile Customers to Shut Down Storage Zone Controllers Over Security Threat

Progress Software has instructed ShareFile users to stop using the Windows servers hosting their Storage Zone Controllers following reports of a 'credible external security threat.' The company confirmed it is collaborating with security experts and has temporarily restricted access to impacted accounts as part of its precautionary measures. While no evidence of unauthorized account or data access has been found, details about the nature of the threat remain undisclosed. This directive affects only the Storage Zone Controller component, not standard cloud-based ShareFile accounts. Users are advised to keep the controllers offline until further guidance is issued.
