What happened and what to do
The SANS Internet Storm Center post, published on October 1, 2026, reports attackers abusing ScreenConnect Client. It notes that threat actors can rely on existing applications without using sophisticated techniques or complex malware; it does not detail a specific abuse technique.
A practical response is to inventory authorized remote-access tools and monitor their use, alerting on access or activity outside the company’s defined baseline. A company can also review permissions, logs, and response procedures to detect and investigate misuse without relying solely on malware indicators.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose exposure related to remote-access tools, scope an implementation for inventory, monitoring, and alerts, and support its operation on the company’s infrastructure.
