Microsoft has confirmed infringement των συστημάτων της από την εισβολή των hackers στην solarwinds, but denies infecting her clients.
Η Microsoft επιβεβαίωσε ότι δέχτηκε εισβολή από τις πρόσφατες επιθέσεις των hackers εναντίον της Solarwinds, αλλά αρνήθηκε ότι το software breached to the point that it in turn infects customers.
Last weekend it was discovered that Russian state hackers violated SolarWinds and they used the automatic mechanism informations to distribute a backdoor to their customers.
This malware is a backdoor, named Solarigate (Microsoft) ή Sunburst (FireEye) and reached approximately 18.000 SolarWinds customers, such as Ministry US Department of Finance, US NTIA, the US Nuclear Weapons Administration and the US Department of Homeland Security.
Last night, Reuters published a report who said sources told him that Microsoft not only risked being attacked in SolarWinds, but that hackers had also modified Microsoft software to distribute malicious files to its customers.
In a tweet του Frank Shaw, του αντιπροέδρου επικοινωνιών της Microsoft, η Microsoft αρνείται τα αποτελέσματα της έκθεσης, με βάση τα τρέχοντα ευρήματα. Ο Shaw επιβεβαίωσε ότι η Microsoft εντόπισε κακόβουλα δυαδικά αρχεία της SolarWinds στο περιβάλλον τους, αλλά τα συστήματά τους δεν χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για να θέσουν σε κίνδυνο πελάτες.
Apparently the story with SolarWinds is not simple, and it is predicted to turn into a big scandal. Let's wait for the developments.
