ConnectWise blocks third-party add-ons amid ScreenConnect cyberattack probe

Researchers have warned that ConnectWise's ScreenConnect platform is being abused to gain remote access and install malicious toolkits, according to Cybersecurity Dive. In response, ConnectWise has disabled third-party extensions while it investigates the incident.

This matters for banks, insurers and healthcare organisations, which depend on secure remote access for operations. The incident shows the risk of third-party integrations and the need for strict monitoring of remote access tools. Firms should assess their exposure and review security protocols for remote access platforms.
