INC Ransomware has been identified as a leading actor exploiting SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) 1000 series VPN flaws. Resecurity reports the group increased activity beginning in early August 2026 and listed multiple victims on its data leak site. Compromised SMA appliances can enable initial access that supports ransomware deployment and data theft. Organizations using SMA 1000 devices face elevated risk of downtime, extortion, and potential credential or configuration exposure. Immediate patching and vulnerability mitigation for affected appliances are strongly recommended.
