FortiBleed Emergency: 74,000 Fortinet Logins Exposed

A special crossover episode of Cybersecurity Today and Hashtag Trending for June 19, 2026.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued an urgent warning after security researchers uncovered the FortiBleed dataset, exposing credentials tied to approximately 74,000 Fortinet firewall and SSL VPN devices across 194 countries. Researchers found the data on an exposed threat actor server containing attack tools, victim databases, logs, and thousands of verified usernames and passwords. Analysts report that tens of thousands of those credentials may still be active.

Host Jim Love breaks down:

• What FortiBleed is and how it was discovered
• Why this affects roughly half of all internet-facing Fortinet devices
• What CISA and Fortinet are telling organizations to do immediately
• The potential risks of credential reuse and lateral movement attacks
• Practical steps security teams should take right now

The episode also includes an interview with Mike Sweeney of Silent Push on major international efforts targeting Southeast Asian scam compounds and criminal infrastructure during Operation Disruption Week.

If your organization uses Fortinet firewalls, FortiGate appliances, or SSL VPNs, this is an episode you should not miss.
