The first phases of this monthslong cyberespionage campaign started
in the
spring. The malware gave the hackers remote access to victims’ networks.
apparently because a hard-coded backdoor password was revealed on github...

The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity arm are investigating what experts and former officials said appeared to be a large-scale penetration of U.S. government agencies. Industry experts
said
it bore the hallmarks of Russian tradecraft.
Probably because CHINA wants them to believe it's RUSSIA wot dun it.
“This can turn into one of the most impactful espionage campaigns on record,” said cybersecurity expert Dmitri Alperovitch.
all done during a "pandemic" (both unnecessary and *ILLEGAL*) TYRANNICAL LOCKDOWN of HALF of AMERICA, designed to HARM DONALD TRUMP, and when
THAT did not work, THE ELECTION WAS DEFRAUDED to "guarantee an outcome",
which is how LIB-TARDS do things.
SolarWinds said the “potential vulnerability” was related to updates released between March and June for software that helps organizations monitor their online networks for problems.
using a hard-coded password that was revealed on github. yeah.
“We believe that this vulnerability is the result of a highly- sophisticated, targeted and manual supply chain attack by a nation
state,”
said SolarWinds CEO Kevin Thompson in a statement.
and not just a TOTAL POOCH SCREW by INCOMPETENT PROGRAMMERS. Right.
The compromise is critical because SolarWinds would give a hacker “God- mode” access to the network, making everything visible, said Alperovitch.
that's generally what a "back door" does. This is also why such "back
doors" built into ENCRYPTION METHODS are a *HUGE* *BAD* *IDEA* [even
though fucking POLITICIANS are ALWAYS WANTING THIS "for the children"]
The U.S. government did not publicly identify Russia as the culprit
behind
the hacks, first reported by Reuters, and said little about who might be responsible. Cybersecurity experts said last week that they considered Russian state hackers to be the main suspect.
Yeah, because EVIL COMMUNIST HACKERS from *CHINA* left the right bread
crumbs to make them think that, am I right or what?
A hammer sees everything as a NAIL. If you expect to find RUSSIAN
hackers, then THAT is what you will find. After all, CHINA gets "a
pass" for ANY of the SHIT they've pulled, from DELIBERATELY INFECTING
THE WORLD, to SCARING ENOUGH PEOPLE to JUSTIFY POLITICIANS ACTING LIKE
TYRANTS AGAINST THE U.S. CONSTITUTION and VIOLATING OUR RIGHTS ON A
DAILY FUCKING BASIS!!
(And if you MUST wear a mask, because SOME TYRANT "governor" WILL WHACK
YOUR PEE PEE IF YOU DO NOT, then wear a GUY FAWKES MASK, *IN* *PROTEST*,
and *SAY* *SO* *TO* *ANYONE* *WHO* *COMMENTS* - I know *I* do!!!)
