Incident Details

Following a thorough investigation, Pure Storage revealed that the compromised workspace did not contain sensitive information such as passwords for array access or any data stored on customer systems.

The company emphasized that such information is never communicated outside of the array and is not part of telemetry data.

Consequently, the telemetry information cannot be used to gain unauthorized access to customer systems.

Pure Storage swiftly blocked any further unauthorized access to the compromised workspace.
