Along with a number of government agencies, Microsoft has been targeted by the Russian hackers allegedly responsible for the breach of multiple government systems, Reuters reports in an exclusive.
Microsoft utilized the network management software SolarWind, which apparently allowed hackers to gain access to systems. SolarWind is utilized by companies and government agencies around the country.
“The SolarWinds Orion supply chain compromise is not the only initial infection vector this APT actor leveraged,” said DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, per Reuters.
