Hey everyone,

There’s something important for people who use Fortinet’s FortiGate appliances to know. It’s about a sneaky piece of malware called Coathanger. Just like a real coathanger sticks around in your closet, this Coathanger can stick around in your devices without you knowing it!

Malware is just another word for nasty software that can do bad things to your computer or network. And Coathanger is built especially to hide in Fortinet’s devices. Imagine it like a tiny bug that sneaks into your house and stays hidden, causing trouble without you seeing it. That’s what Coathanger does in these appliances.

Here’s where things get tricky: Coathanger might already be on many devices without the owners even realizing it. That’s like having a hidden bug in your house and not knowing where it is or how to get it out. That’s a problem because you want your home – and your network – to be safe and bug-free.

Now, you might be wondering why this is such a big deal. Well, when there’s malware in your network, it’s like having an invisible thief. It can steal information, mess up your system, and even allow more malware to come in. That’s why it’s super important to find it and get rid of it.

But don’t worry! Just like how you’d call an exterminator to deal with bugs at home, there are people who can help you deal with Coathanger and other malware. One of those helpers is Diversified Outlook Group.

Diversified Outlook Group knows a lot about dealing with these kinds of issues. They can help you check if Coathanger is hiding in your devices and if it is, they’ll help you say ‘goodbye’ to it. Just think of them as the friendly neighborhood helpers who make sure your digital space is as clean and safe as your home.
