Following a nation-state attack disclosed on October 15, F5 reported two main impacts on customers: the need for widespread emergency updates to its BIG-IP systems and some data theft. CEO François Locoh-Donou highlighted the rapid response from customers, with significant updates completed with minimal disruption.
The intrusion led to the theft of code segments, configuration data, and vulnerabilities while most affected customers consider the stolen data non-sensitive. F5 is actively working with third-party firms to audit and secure its systems, ensuring no critical vulnerabilities were exploited. The company also announced a partnership with CrowdStrike for enhanced security measures and expects temporary financial impacts due to customer focus on threat remediation.
Despite the attack’s implications, Locoh-Donou emphasized learning and collaboration to strengthen industry practices and protect critical infrastructure. F5 remains committed to transparent communication with its customer base about the incident and the steps taken to mitigate risks associated with future cyber threats.
