At NIST s Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board meeting, Jay Gazlay, a technical strategist with CISA who has been examining the attack since it was first disclosed in December 2020, presented an analysis of what the agency has learned about the attack to date. That included a detailed timeline of how the hackers implanted a backdoor in a software update for SolarWind s Orion network monitoring platform. The update with the backdoor was eventually installed by about 18,000 of the company s customers.

Print article Janice Richards told her family she was going for a walk and left the house last week, North Slope Borough authorities say. The 16-year-old Utqiagvik girl hasn’t been seen since. By Tuesday, searchers with Barrow Volunteer Search and Rescue combed the community for any sign of Richards, who relatives say left home on the evening of Feb. 24 wearing camo pants and hoodie with a purple coat. Ground crews scouted block by block wearing warm gear. They were asked to bring long sticks if they had them, according to social media posts from search organizers. The weather has been very cold especially at night, according to North Slope Borough spokeswoman Araina Danner. It was 19 below Tuesday afternoon when Danner spoke with a reporter on the phone.
