Researchers Disclose More Malware Used in SolarWinds Attack

Get Permission
Researchers with Microsoft and FireEye are disclosing additional malware used by the hacking group that targeted SolarWinds in December 2020, according to a pair of reports released Thursday.
The newly discovered malware appears to be second-stage payloads deployed by the hacking group after victimized organizations downloaded a Trojanized software update to SolarWind's Orion network monitoring platform, which contained a backdoor dubbed "Sunburst," the reports note. While about 18,000 of the company's customers downloaded the compromised software update, the attackers only deployed additional malware against certain organizations.
Both Microsoft and FireEye found these newly discovered second-stage malware variants were likely deployed in the later stages of the supply chain attack, most likely around August or September 2020. The attackers appear to have first compromised the SolarWinds network in September 2019 and then inserted the Sunburst backdoor in the software update between March and June 2020, according to earlier reports analyzing the attack (see:

GAO Report Highlights Need for Centralized Cyber Leadership

Get Permission
A lack of centralized leadership, especially at the White House level, is hindering the federal government's ability to address numerous cybersecurity issues, such as the SolarWinds supply chain attack that affected federal agencies and others, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
Since 2010, the GAO has made over 3,300 recommendations to improve cybersecurity standards and practices across the federal government, and as of December 2020, about 750 - including 100 that are considered priority recommendations - have not been implemented, according to the report published Tuesday.
The GAO says the 2018 National Cyber Strategy and the National Security Council's 2019 Implementation Plan, issued during the Trump administration, lacked "important characteristics of a national strategy," which made these plans less effective in addressing pressing cybersecurity issues. The nation's cybersecurity stance has regressed over the last two years since the GAO's last report on the issue, the watchdog agency notes.
