Reason No. 5 gazillion why the SolarWinds hack is so impressive. The hackers had full control of SolarWinds' software build system since October 2019. We know this because the hackers performed a dry run exercise that month. Great reporting by @KimZetter https://t.co/41C3eja90F

New: SolarWinds hackers did test-run of spy operation in Oct 2019, when malicious SolarWinds files were first downloaded by customers. That version didn't have backdoor in it, however. Indicates hackers were in SolarWinds network in 2019, if not earlier. https://t.co/SuviCKL1GP

“Like other SolarWinds customers, we have been actively looking for indicators of this actor and can confirm that we detected malicious Solar Winds binaries in our environment, which we isolated and removed,” a Microsoft spokesperson saidhttps://t.co/NnWvPFsx3W
