Microsoft says it has removed malware related to an expansive hacking campaign that has ensnared thousands of organizations and U.S. government agencies.
Microsoft’s disclosure comes as the devastating scope of the campaign grew on Thursday, with a fresh U.S. government warning that the recently discovered supply chain compromise may not be the only way a hacking group is infiltrating organizations.
Microsoft says it found malicious binaries that came from SolarWinds, the Austin-based company whose software supply chain was infiltrated by a hacking group.
Reuters, which was first to report Microsoft was affected, says that Microsoft “also had its own products leveraged to further the attacks on others,” citing anonymous sources.
