This issue affects self-hosted, on premise servers, as well as the ElectronApp desktop versions on Windows and Mac OS. More information can be found here: https://www.3cx.com/blog/news/desktopapp-security-alert-updates/

We have been reviewing our client's systems and taking action where needed. Feel free to leave a comment or reach out to our customer service team for more information. Our endpoint security platform and other antivirus systems flagged the executable, which has minimised the risk but the following steps should still be taken:

1. Uninstall the 3CX Desktop app from both Windows and Mac systems.  The PWA (progressive web app) is safe and can be used. Instructions can be found from the link above.

2. Install an update if you self-host or have an on premise 3CX server

While this is not ideal, 3CX has been transparent and quick to respond to this potential threat. They've hired Mandiant (a renowned cybersecurity firm) to investigate and are working on releasing a secure version of the desktop app which should be available shortly.

Think your organisation is too small to be a target? More than half of all cyberattacks are committed against small-to-midsized businesses (SMBs), and 60 percent of them go out of business within six months of falling victim to a data breach or hack. Small or mid sized organisations are now seen as desirable targets. In fact cyber criminals are intentionally attacking them as they often lack the proper defences.

To help your nonprofit be better prepared against attacks we are offering a Free Microsoft Secure Score Analysis. Submit your organisational details and you will gain the following benefits:
Guided explanation of your Microsoft Secure Score report
Visibility on current organisational security activities
See concrete recommended actions that you can take to secure your organisation
A baseline to track your security improvements

Today we pause and reflect on those who have served and those who continue to serve in the armed forces. We are grateful for the immense sacrifices that they have made.
