MicroWorld Technologies, the maker of the eScan antivirus product, has confirmed that one of its update servers was breached and used to distribute an unauthorized update later analyzed as malicious to a small subset of customers earlier this month.
The file was delivered to customers who downloaded updates from the regional update cluster during a two-hour window on January 20, 2026.
Scan says the affected infrastructure has since been isolated and rebuilt, authentication credentials have been rotated, and remediation has been made available to impacted customers.
Security firm Morphisec separately published a technical report analyzing malicious activity observed on customer endpoints, which it associates with updates delivered from eScan’s update infrastructure during the same timeframe.
Morphisec states that it detected malicious activity on January 20, 2026, and later contacted eScan. MicroWorld Technologies told BleepingComputer it disputes Morphisec’s claims that it was the first to discover or report the incident.
According to eScan, the company detected the issue internally on January 20 through monitoring and customer reports, isolated the affected infrastructure within hours, and issued a security advisory on January 21. eScan says Morphisec contacted the company later, after publishing public claims about the incident.
eScan also disputes claims that affected customers were unaware of the issue, stating that it conducted proactive notifications and direct outreach to impacted customers while remediation was being finalized.
