Zero-day in third-party vendor exposed Belgian research network Belnet emails for two months
Original: ✨ Due mesi di silenzio: uno zero-day su un fornitore terzo apre le caselle email della rete belga Belnet # CyberSecurity
A zero-day vulnerability in a third-party supplier allowed attackers to open email mailboxes on Belnet, Belgium's national research and education network, with the intrusion reportedly going unnoticed for two months. The case is drawing attention from the cybersecurity community as a reminder of supply-chain risk, since the flaw sat outside Belnet's own systems while its users' communications were exposed.
Why now: Security professionals are discussing the incident as a fresh example of how supply-chain vulnerabilities can compromise national infrastructure undetected for months.
