FBI, CISA, ODNI Describe Response to SolarWinds Attack
2020-12-17 16:02

The FBI has been tasked with collecting intelligence that can help attribute the attack to a threat actor and disrupt their activities.

The agency is also working with victims to obtain information that can be useful to the government and network defenders.

Shortly after the incident came to light, CISA issued an emergency directive, instructing federal agencies to immediately take action to detect attacks, collect forensic evidence, and eject the attackers from a compromised network.

SolarWinds provides IT management and monitoring solutions to 300,000 organizations worldwide, including governments, educational institutions and businesses.

While the U.S. government has not shared a list of impacted agencies, media reports say victims include the DHS, the Commerce Department, the Treasury, the Defense Department, the State Department, and the National Institutes of Health.
