Read through some of this and it will confirm how big a deal it is. And if a service you were wondering about isn't working, there is a decent chance that this is why...

This is a big deal. Solarwinds Orion is a product used in many of the Top 100 companies in the world. Including tons of healthcare.

I dislike Solarwinds for many reasons and refused to use them even before this hack. Just add another reason to the list.

    So Im reading this now that Solar Winds updates have been delivering
    payloads since june or july. Solar winds having crazy levels of
    access to interior infrastructures.

    Im not sure what this is saying, it sounds like what fireye
    isnt saying outwardly is their toolset was stolen prior to that and
    that was how they were able to circumvent the solarwinds security
    infrastructure, as solar winds relied on fireye?

    Anybody come across any good detail on solar winds impacted
    software? Like if you downloaded the free subnet calculator, will
    they be taking your google home account too? Imma be pretty pissed
    if they mess with my google play playlists.

    I wonder if the disruptions with office365 and the weird spam filter
    changes lately are related to cleanup prior to publication.

    We are a tiny company and got withing a hair of pulling the trigger
    on various solarwinds offerings over the years. Thats with tiny
    company tiny budgets. I cant imagine CTO voicemails going down
    around the world today, depending on budget, you hand the keys over
    to solarwinds, and by design, each key you hand over makes sense to
    spend a little more and hand over another key. How would you even
    begin to clean up your organization when your systems that would
    provide you your forensics are the systems that did the damage?

    Is this just mediahype and more russia russia russia, or is this as
    big of a deal as it seems

        Nope, per fireye, the toolset had to be released because of it
        being stolen, was not "in the wild"____

        __ __

        Going to get really interesting to see what comes of this, two
        federal agencies just happen to get hit shortly after. You can
        do plenty when you know how you would have otherwise been
        caught.____

        __ __

        And that's all fireye admits to having been breached. I'm
        gonna go ahead and not take their word on it definitively
        having been russia either. Convenient timing after iran
        specifically has stated they're going to retaliate for the
        dead scientist. China will probably confirm this shortly____

        __ __

        Pretty sure this is far from over and pretty sure this company
        is just the first to go public.____

            But I think I read somewhere that the Fireye tools that
            were stolen were a collection of malware already in the
            wild that they used for testing of client networks.  So it
            was stuff already available, just neatly packaged.____

            The guys who really f’d up were the “Equation Group”
            (cough, cough, NSA) who lost novel and very powerful
            hacking tools like Eternal Blue to the Shadow Brokers
            group.____
