In a status update on its website, the company said its hosted N-Central offering for customers is now offline “while we take the necessary actions to secure the environments and implement appropriate remediation. ” The company also urged customers to take down their own self-hosted deployments of N-Central, fearing that attackers could use the publicly disclosed exploits to hack into customer networks. N-able said during this time customers will not be able to use their N-Central service, which allows corporate customers to remotely access and manage other devices and systems on the same network.
