The attackers also obtained wildcard TLS certificates covering all subdomains, enabling them to intercept credentials entered on the portal and community forum while presenting valid HTTPS connections. CubePilot regained control the same day, revoked fraudulent certificates, and reported the incident to Australian authorities. As a precaution, all OEM services, the forum, and documentation portal are offline. Firmware downloaded on July 24-25 should not be flashed until safety checks are complete, and clients should verify any payment requests by phone. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
