ConnectWise rotating code signing certificates due to security concerns


ConnectWise is updating the digital signing certificates used in ScreenConnect, ConnectWise Automate, and ConnectWise RMM due to concerns raised by a third-party researcher about how ScreenConnect handled certain configuration data in earlier versions.

ConnectWise received this extended deadline Monday evening.
