Response to Recent Cyberattacks

Recent cyberattacks on organizations like AFP and SID have raised significant concerns about data security. Both entities reported potential compromises of passwords on their FTP servers, which manage critical content delivery. This has prompted urgent recommendations for all affected parties to engage their technical teams immediately to change passwords and verify the integrity of their systems.

Despite the severity of these incidents, it is important to note that there have been no disruptions to the delivery of content on AFP News and AFP Forum. This assurance allows users to continue accessing information without interruption.

In light of these developments, organizations are advised to refrain from public discussions regarding the attacks to mitigate further risks. Instead, communication should be directed to the respective technical support teams. For those needing assistance, contacting the AFP support via cdq@afp.com is recommended to facilitate the necessary security measures.

These incidents underscore the vital need for robust cybersecurity protocols and prompt action in response to potential vulnerabilities. Organizations must prioritize the safeguarding of their digital assets to prevent future breaches.
