French IT monitoring firm Centreon says no customers affected by hacking campaign

PARIS: French IT monitoring company Centreon said on Tuesday that none of its customers were affected by a hacking campaign described by the country’s cybersecurity agency in a recent report.

Hackers spent up to three years breaking into organizations by targeting Centreon’s monitoring software, French watchdog ANSSI said in the report that was disclosed on Monday.

“It is confirmed by ANSSI that no Centreon customers were impacted,” the French company said, adding in a statement that 15 “entities” were targeted during the hacking campaign through an obsolete open source version of the software.
