QUANTUM THREAT INTELLIGENCE
Unit 42 reported on October 14, 2026 that an actor used CVE-2024-47575 in FortiManager to register a rogue device at a telecommunications managed service provider and pull a configuration archive covering more than 500 managed FortiGate firewalls, then used CVE-2025-61624 to place a memory resident implant in FortiOS logging and IKE daemons. Unit 42 does not confirm intrusion into client networks and does not attribute the activity to a state; both flaws were patched in 2024 and 2025. Its recommendation is the one that matters for operators: treat every credential and certificate held by a compromised management platform as compromised, rotate the cryptographic trust material, and isolate edge management interfaces. This is about management plane exposure and key hygiene, not any one vendor.
Every advance in quantum computing shortens the window for migrating long lived infrastructure off quantum-vulnerable encryption, and data captured today can be decrypted later. Fabric Networks helps energy, government, telecom and community networks move to quantum-safe encryption on their own timeline, not an adversary's.
