Ellicott City, MD – March 30, 2023 — Huntress, the managed security platform for small and mid-market businesses (SMBs), today announced that following a supply chain attack from a potential nation-state actor that could impact thousands of users of the 3CX VoIP Desktop Application, they are offering their Managed EDR services free of charge for 30 days to those impacted businesses using 3CX.

The Huntress Threat Operations team continues to update the cyber community in real-time as it conducts its on-going analysis.

“Our mission is to secure the small and mid-size business (SMB) community and we’ve always acted for the greater good of the wider cyber community,” said Huntress CEO Kyle Hanslovan. “At this initial stage, we’re seeing just how widespread this incident is and its potential to escalate and we stand ready to help vulnerable businesses stand up strong security postures to prevent business impact from this incident.”
