The Brief

N-able has taken its hosted N-central environments offline.
N-able urged on-premises customers to shut down their servers.
A security researcher publicly disclosed more than 30 alleged zero-day vulnerabilities, including exploits that could let attackers take over vulnerable systems.

Teams that run N-central, whether hosted or on-premises, face unpatched alleged zero-days and should follow the vendor's shutdown guidance.
