SolarWinds Fallout: How The Sunburst Attack Happened
On Dec 13, 2020, SolarWinds, a commonly deployed network management solution, confirmed that a cyber incident has occurred which appears to be an IT operations product used well by Fortune 500 companies, US Government agencies, and critical SMB firms. The SolarWinds Orion application updates have been infected for a period between March and June 2020.
The attack is a supply-chain based attack in which the adversary can leverage the software’s update mechanism. The SolarWinds attack has been linked to innumerable businesses, the US Treasury Department, and FireEye compromise at this time.
