Exploit: Hacking (Nation-State)
Company Name: Type
Risk to Business: 1.402 = Extreme
Another chapter in the SolarWinds Nation-State Hack opened when Microsoft disclosed that it had been hacked as well. The same suspected Russian hacking activity that rocked the world last week hit the software giant as well. This Microsoft compromise appears to have a direct path back to the infected updates to SolarWinds' Orion. The company notes that it has "not found evidence of access to production services or customer data", but that's in dispute.
Individual Risk:
No personal or consumer information was reported as impacted in this incident at this time but the incident is still under investigation.
Customers Impacted: Unknown
How it Could Affect Your Business: Nation-state hacking is a risk that can only grow, and that has to be part of every business' risk calculus. Putting overlapping protection in place can help your clients resist these attacks.
