Good reason to keep your firmware up to date

A backdoor FMG login was found in older FOS code. (see link http://thehackernews.com/2016/01/fortinet-firewall-password-hack.html)

According to the article, "This issue affected all FortiOS versions from 4.3.0 to 4.3.16 and 5.0.0 to 5.0.7, which cover FortiOS builds from between November 2012 and July 2014."

Yes I realize the article is exactly one year old, but still many folks simply see their firewall running and move on to other tasks. (I'm looking in the mirror right now...)

Stay safe out there folks.
