Russians are the alleged top suspects behind the massive hacking, which was initially discovered among email trails from the US Treasury and Commerce Department's NTIA. However, it was recently discovered that three US agencies, including the US State Department, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Department of Defense, were part of the SolarWinds breach.
The cybersecurity company has now advised its Orion platform users to upgrade to "2020.2.1 HF1," which is SolarWinds' solution to the recent cyberattack and address security issues. The company is known to service Fortune 500 companies and Boeing, a significant arms manufacturer for the US Military.
The Russian government has denied any involvement in the recent attack, saying that they took no part in the hacking, despite the source being a popular Russian APT29 called "Cozy Bear."
