This article is only the tip of the ICEBERG....
The attackers, whom CISA said began their operation no later than March, managed to remain undetected until last week when security firm FireEye reported that hackers backed by a nation-state had penetrated deep into its network. Early this week, FireEye said that the hackers were infecting targets using Orion, a widely used network management tool from SolarWinds. After taking control of the Orion update mechanism, the attackers were using it to install a backdoor that FireEye researchers are calling Sunburst.”>
When you read this article (link posted below) you will understand just why I’m saying this and the writing is on the wall.
FIRST: Trump has already won! Almost 100% sure on this.
As you will read in the article, ORION/SolarWinds has been compromised. It’s been known for a couple days now. It’s far more serious than initially expected.
Why does this matter: Well pedes, SolarWinds powered the dominion/tabulation machines. It has now been proven that we have been under attack for months.
This means that the entire election will have to be thrown out*
That means that neither candidate will have 270 electoral votes, which means that the HOUSE will vote. 1 vote per state. Do the math it’s over.
I’m actually sad right now while writing this, not because we’re not going to get the outcome we’ve so desired, but more so because this will change the world.
We will undoubtedly go to war over this. Many people will die. This won’t be like Iraq or Afghanistan. This will be a near peer actor. Most likely China although I’ve seen Russia mentioned as well.
I am OVERJOYED that Trump will stay in office. Unfortunately there will likely not be much time for celebration.
These actors are inside of our network. They can shut off our power grid, our water supply, our food supply.
This is some scary ass shit!
Please READ THE ARTICLE so that you can see I’m not overplaying this at all.
Start making preparations. I fear the next time we see POTUS it will be a prime time event and what we hear will not be good for our way of life.
I pray to God that I am wrong!
Not even close to true
Dude, I'm a Computer Engineer. Yes, you can perform man in the middle attacks from a network vantage point. Absolutely 1000% true.
How does orion facilitate that? Give me details from a layer 3 level

"Network monitoring services provider SolarWinds officially released a second hotfix to address a critical vulnerability in its Orion platform that was exploited to insert malware and breach public and private entities in a wide-ranging espionage campaign."
This is claiming malicious code being injected into patches which are pushed out to systems. Are you claiming that dominion used this SW option to push out updates to their voting machines?
Theoretically though, there's no reason to believe there isn't a malicious Trojan on DVS machines. I just don't know if that's how they pulled it off or some other way. Even a compromised USB drive would be enough to do it.
They wouldn't have to. First of all as I said elsewhere Dominion's https://dvsfileshare.dominionvoting.com/ was unsecured and unencrypted as of last week (they fixed it after getting called out for it by CodeMonkeyZ). That means just being on the same LAN and sniffing packets would yield the password for these files (whatever is there). That's completely independent of the SolarWinds hack, which we don't yet know the full extent of. Microsoft said today 44 of their customers were targed with malicious Trojans from the hack. How many systems do Dominion machines interact with? What are the State governments running? How about the Edison program that collects the data? There are so many vectors. But yes, if any of those machines connect to systems on Orion networks, there could be MITM attacks that either copied and routed data to external servers unbeknownst to government agencies. That alone could allow them to do modeling to predict how many votes they need to make up for whatever difference Biden needed (including throughout early voting period and all throughout election day).
At any rate, I look forward to the full analysis. But what we know is there's at least a dozen vulnerabilities
What do you mean " orion networks". There is no such thing. It is a windows based service that sits on one or more orion servers. There is no indication of the role it plays with the actual voting machines. Since the machines are off-site are you saying they all connected back to the dominion networks via VPN?
