Former colleague of mine was a solarwinds specialist. I feel for him right now.
It is going to be a rough few days for many sysadmins around the world. Look at all the US Federal Agencies that have been compromised as well. Just waiting to hear about the UK now...

It's a very clever attack. Monitoring touches everything.

Given the week they have had - everything down for an hour Monday lunchtime, GMail down for 3 hours last night - I'm assuming Google use Solarwinds quite extensively?

Or is that something else?

We had just started using Solarwinds internally last year, but our netsec team is quite solid, so it's only internal use, can't access the outside - which works as mitigation somewhat. There's teams working on lateral investigation, analysis of the latest hotfix from SW, and overall health checking (FWs). No reason to believe we may have been compromised yet. Have to say, for a non-IT Fortune 500 company, I'm really proud of the security focus and mindset we have.

That second one is bunkum, countless software providers play the "oh, our performance is shit... exclude us from AV then innit" card

Trump claiming it is the Chinese that hacked it.

Despite the fact that everyone else says it is Russia.

I'd love it if it was really an autistic UFO conspiracy theorist :)
