Microsoft has confirmed infringement of its systems from the hackers' intrusion into Solarwinds, but denies infecting her clients.
Microsoft confirmed that it had been hacked by recent hacker attacks on SolarWinds, but denied that its software had been compromised enough to infect customers.
Last weekend it was discovered that Russian state hackers violated SolarWinds and used the auto-update mechanism to distribute a backdoor to their customers.
This malware is a backdoor, named Solarigate (Microsoft) or Sunburst (FireEye) and reached approximately 18.000 SolarWinds customers such as the US Treasury Department, US NTIA, the US Nuclear Weapons Administration and the US Department of Homeland Security.
Last night, Reuters published a report who said his sources indicated that Microsoft was not only at risk from the SolarWinds attack, but that hackers had also modified Microsoft software to distribute malicious archives to its customers.
In a tweet by Frank Shaw, Microsoft's vice president of communications, Microsoft denies them Results of the report, based on current findings. Shaw confirmed that Microsoft detected malicious SolarWinds binaries in their environment, but their systems were not used to compromise customers.
Apparently the story with SolarWinds is not simple, and it is predicted to turn into a big scandal. Let's wait for the developments.
