🚨 URGENT ALERT: SonicWall Releases Critical Update to Fight Rootkit Malware 🚨

If your organization uses a SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) 100 series appliance, you need to act now.

SonicWall has released an urgent firmware update, version 10.2.2.2-92sv, to combat a sophisticated rootkit malware known as OVERSTEP. This malware, tracked by Google’s Threat Intelligence Group, allows attackers to maintain persistent access to your network, even after system reboots and updates.

Here’s what you need to know:

• What it does: The OVERSTEP malware can steal critical data, including credentials, one-time password seeds, and certificates, giving attackers a long-term foothold in your network.
• Why you should update immediately: The malware is being actively used in the wild, targeting SMA 100 series devices. This new firmware version introduces additional file-checking capabilities specifically designed to find and remove this malicious software from your systems.
• What you should do: All users of SMA 210, 410, and 500v devices must apply this update immediately. There is no workaround, so patching is the only way to protect your systems.

Given that these devices are nearing their end-of-support date on October 1, 2025, updating is more critical than ever. Don’t let your guard down—this is an active threat.

Secure your network now. Head to the SonicWall support portal to download the update.
