“The actual and perceived control...could easily be used to undermine public and consumer trust in data, written communications and services. In the networks that the Russians control, they have the power to destroy or alter data, and impersonate legitimate people.”
“According to SolarWinds SEC filings, the malware was on the software from March to June. The number of orgs. that downloaded the corrupted update could be as many as 18,000, which includes most federal government unclassified networks and more than 425 Fortune 500 companies.”
Russia “will surely have used its access to further exploit and gain administrative control over the networks it considered priority targets...gained what experts call ‘persistent access,’ meaning the ability to infiltrate and control networks...that is hard to detect or remove.”
