Ivanti Zero-Days Hit European Governments in Fresh Attack Wave
Want more insights like this?
Two critical zero-day vulnerabilities in Ivanti's Endpoint Manager Mobile solution sparked a fresh wave of cyberattacks targeting European government agencies in late January. CVE-2026-1281 and CVE-2026-1340, both scoring 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale, enabled remote code execution on compromised systems.
The European Commission, Dutch and Finnish government agencies fell victim within days of Ivanti's January 29 disclosure. The EU attack lasted nine hours, exposing staff names and mobile numbers, while Finland's breach affected 50,000 individuals' personal data.
Researchers traced 83% of subsequent attacks to a single IP address that remained active as of February 12. This marks another chapter in Ivanti's troubled security history, raising questions about why critical organizations continue relying on repeatedly compromised infrastructure despite the mounting risks.
