The hack sounds more like covering tracks considering they are the ones getting raided, don't you think? Didn't we see a similar hack in 2016? DoD is not fooled and neither is the DIA.Cactus Jack said:
SolarWinds was the apparent victim of a hacking campaign orchestrated by a nation-state.

This company provides a lot of networking tools for businesses. Up to 18,000 of their clients, including DHS, DoT, and Commerce, were affected.

So does SW have a connection to the election or they just dumping stock to make a profit?

Mr Robot lives. I work in the same campus for a different company and have seen the scrawny dude in a hoodie appearing to need vitamins and sleep.
Whoop! Slammm Dunk! Apologies to normal folks who have not seen Mr. Robot.
It appears that Dominion uses SolarWind.74Ag1 said:

Lots of companies use Solarwinds, our network team included. They were pretty much the gold standard 10 years ago, and are still a major player in network monitoring and management.
This is really bad. Primarily because it was compromised a while ago, and managed to put the malicious code into Orion software updates, so customers who are keeping up with patching are all impacted. The group basically waited until all their intended targets were susceptible before attacking.
Agreed, this is really bad. The compromise was to a SAML assertion that allowed the attackers to generate high level users. Who knows what else they could have done to any products, they could still have sleeper accounts in SW's infrastructure. This is really badOldArmyBrent said:kb2001 said:

If someone was able to insert code with the digital signature of SW, why should we believe there nothing else being exploited right now? That's why everything Solarwinds was turned off. I realize I'm oversimplifying, but this is terrifying. Orion was not the only thing compromised.

BREAKING: FBI, Texas Rangers and US Marshals Raid SolarWinds HQ
No mention of "raid". One would expect law enforcement would be working with an important IT company that was the victim of a foreign attack.Quote:
"Sean. I'm here in Texas. I have a good friend who's a ranger who passed to me that the FBI, the Texas Rangers and the US Marshals are all at the SolarWinds headquarters in Austin, Texas and they are currently looking"
For the record We have been looking for more information on this so-called raid and contacted friends in Austin but have not yet confirmed this incident.

I'm fully onboard for going after the CCP, Feinstein, and Swalwell,. But that opening salvo in your post is definitely uncalled for. Crap like that is what helps reinforce the false stereotype that outsiders try to paint on the Aggie family.Tibbers said:

All we would need is the logs to show packet transfer to solidify this theory.
The hack on the treasury happened the day after the CCP list was "leaked"
The Hunter Biden investigation led directly to China. Who would have gained the most from rigging the Presidential election? China.
Christine Fang Fang Fang news drops to show corruption on the House Intel committee, a candidate handpicked by Pelosi.
Pelosi tells America in Chinatown that there is nothing to fear in Feb. Feinstein had a Chinese spy as a driver for 20 years...it all goes back to China.
