A cyberattack on a U.S. technology company that has left U.K. infrastructure exposed, including the Home Office, National Health Service (NHS) and police forces, could take months to remove, it has been claimed.
U.S. officials confirmed that it had been hit by cyberattacks targeting SolarWinds corp. The attack inserted malware into software updates. The company supplies technology products to all five branches of the U.S. military as well as the NHS, European Parliament and NATO.
President and CEO of SolarWinds Kevin Thompson said in a statement: We believe that this vulnerability is the result of a highly sophisticated, targeted and manual supply chain attack by a nation-state. We are acting in close coordinate with FireEye, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the intelligence community, and other law enforcement to investigate these matters.

Words by ITV News Producer Fred Dimbleby
Millions of people in the UK follow anti-vaccination misinformation content online, ITV News can reveal.
Exclusive research, carried out by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), estimates there are 5.35 million UK followers of anti-vaccination accounts across social media.
Since a government pledge earlier this year to tackle the issue, only one of 27 major UK anti-vaccination accounts has been removed.
It comes as the UK begins rolling out of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, leading many to call for the government to increase efforts to counter online falsehoods about the safety of vaccines.
