So the US Treasury and CISA have come forth thus far stating that they've essentialy been victims of nefarious cyber malware.

This is purported to have been organized by a foreign actor.

¿Is this pretext for declaring that foreign interference took place in the election?

...possibly invoking actionable elements of the 2018 EO?

Either that or the left will claim it is Russia trying to keep Trump in office. mark my words, they are going to spin the hell out of this if it is China.

The MSM is already claiming it’s Russia. They’re saying it’s the Russian backed hacker ‘cozybear’ who hacked the DNC emails in 2016. You just can’t make up how nefariously corrupt the MSM is.

Of course they will. But since they've already been shouting that for four years it's not going to be effective.

From Reuters, who broke the story:

"The U.S. government has not publicly identified who might be behind the hacking, but three of the people familiar with the investigation said Russia is currently believed to be responsible for the attack."

RUSHA RUSHA RUSHA is back errbody.

Serioussurfaholic 2 points ago +2 / -0

Welp, obviously totally true since 3 people familiar with the investigation said it. The only way it could be more true is if sources familiar with Solar winds' thinking said it.

Cause the Treasury is responsible for elections...?

Serioussurfaholic 1 point ago +1 / -0

Nope, because it is a convenient narrative. These people can find a way to make damned near anything fit their narrative, given enough thought. Look at some of the other insane shit they have managed to sell to the useful idiots.

It means that since march every network using solarwinds network management has been compromised, as far as I can tell

If I might ask, can you ELI5 just what this solar winds shit is? Banks shitting their pants sounds even more double plus ungood than a government freak out. Perhaps this would be a good time to get what little is in the bank out of it?

Solarwinds has a suite called Orion. It's essentially a network monitoring tool kit with full network access to every computer on the network. It has the ability to see every packet from every computer going in and out on the network. It does not have the ability to read encrypted packets, but any captured packet can be decrypted if the bad actor has the keys "password" to decrypt the data.

2
Serioussurfaholic 2 points ago +2 / -0

Ah. And from what I have gathered this morning all kinds of infrastructure, not just the government, uses this shit. So not only a metric fuck ton of encrypted secret stuff, but many metric fucktons of un-encrypted useful bits of unclassified information and confidential shit.

Even pornhub doesn't know my pornhub preferences. They're all stepsister shit. I have never once watched any incest porn and they push it on me EVERY TIME.

Dr0neRec0very 2 points ago +4 / -2

"They're all stepsister shit." Yep. Jerkin off isn't good enough for them. It has to be about DESTROYING THE FAMILY. Why else would every fucking recommended video be stepsister shit, even with people complaining about it in the comments? I'm sure PH gets a little something in the back pocket from a CCP-connected organization, too, considering porn allegedly "rewires" a person's mind. Anyway, at least it's all fake incest. Then again, with at least half our families having divorced, there must be more stepsisters out there than ever.

just that senators were compromised, in the info sec world this is a big buzz solar winds is big part of the security infrastructure for government agencies. Ironically FBI and CIA are not apart of it lets you know who the real attack was against wasn't russia...

And why would the names of over 1.5 million CCP agents need released?

How do I find these names? ( I have a suspect )

why is simple expose the enemy, see who is compromised list is in the tdw stories or hyve on twitter or PioyCOLX.

2
CrusadingPowerUser 2 points ago +2 / -0

1.5 million names that's insane!

How would you even begin to round them all up? I guess what are the authorities going to do even if you report them?

Don't they have to be designated as wanted by the government or what?

2
forseer99 2 points ago +2 / -0

in a country with a billion people that is a drop in the bucket, also only what was disclosed probably a ton more

EO foreign interference would simplify this actions of round up, easiest way to stop it is remove their funds

EO removes these DOJ issues of designation, but has to be enacted

this is not the first time china has done this in a similar fashion they stole trade secrets from google, facebook, and twitter isn't that ironic

According to SolarWinds, all you need to do is upgrade to Orion Platform version 2020.2.1 HF 1. 😆

Many government computer networks have had a back door wide open to baddies for 9 months. They could and probably have been doing anything.

I bet more agencies will come forward saying that they've also experienced a security breach just like the treasury and cisa

Reports from Solarwinds say they think they were breached sometime between March and June 2020

Lockzherup 2 points ago +2 / -0

Hacking groups tend to use certain tactics, techniques, and procedures that can sometimes indicate their origins, which is why security researchers 'tentitively identify' which nation state may be responsible. Attibution is incredibly hard in cybersecurity. However, groups aren't stupid, nor do they leave calling cards. They often use the TTPs of other groups to make it appear some other group was responsible. It's easy enough for one party, say, CHINA, to use some subtle elements of TTPs of a Ukrainian or Russian group, making it convenient for our agencies to say "Russia did it."

Pablomaracas 2 points ago +2 / -0

This is my expertise in IT. I have consulted for the largest corporations and government orgs in the world on deployment of network and systems management technologies. SolarWinds ORION is installed in EVERY organization I’ve ever consulted with. This tool, if properly implemented, could be limited as to what it has access to in the data center. But, not all orgs spent the time or had the expertise to properly implement the tool, thus giving it administrator access to every system in the org. Simply shutting it down will not solve the problem if the access data, which is stored locally, had been accessed. This is a much bigger hole to plug than simply shutting down the SolarWinds server and waiting for a patch from the vendor.
