The largest hack of a Western government in recent memory appears to have
stemmed from an innocuous-looking pop-up message.

In March, IT staff at up to 18,000 companies and organisations using SolarWinds
software clicked on a link to download the latest version of a product called
Orion. SolarWinds makes technology that allows organisations – including US
federal agencies and some of the world’s biggest companies – to manage their
computer systems and networks, and so updated of this kind arrive regularly.




What neither SolarWinds nor the IT workers knew was that the new version of the
software was laced with a malicious form of malware that would grant hackers
“God-view” access to any infected networks.



So how did hackers manage to infiltrate the highest levels of the US government
and go unnoticed for so long?



The hack, known as Sunburst, may have happened in the spring but the groundwork
for the attack most likely began much earlier. In order to booby-trap the
pop-up, the hackers first needed to gain access to SolarWinds’ computer systems.

Once inside the US firm, the hackers were able to secretly insert the malware
into a standard security update, which would have looked identical to numerous
other updates issued by the popular IT management software.

SolarWinds counts all five branches of the US military, the Pentagon, the State
Department and the Office of the President of the United States among its
300,000 global customers.



All were advised to update their software immediately in order to address the
security vulnerability, though for many it will already be too late.

In a security advisory published this week, SolarWinds described it as a “very
sophisticated” attack that “could potentially allow an attacker to compromise
the server” of the victims, meaning sensitive information would have already
been exposed.



Not only that, the fact the hackers had a nine month headstart before being
discovered means they could have already developed new and much harder to detect
methods of lurking within victims’ computer systems.

As such, uncovering the malware and issuing an update is just the beginning of
the process of routing out any malignant actors still probing the networks.



It is not yet known, at least not publicly, whether any state secrets of highly
classified information was breached, though US senators have called for a full
list of any federal agency impacted by the attack.

It is expected to take months to uncover the full extent of the attack, with
forensic investigations aiming to figure out which emails, files and other data
were accessed, and whether they were copied or transmitted to other systems.


WHO WAS BEHIND THE SOLARWINDS HACK?

The sophisticated nature of the hack points to a nation state, with US
adversaries in the cyber domain most commonly being China, Iran, North Korea and
Russia.



“We’ve been advised that the nature of this attack indicates that it may have
been conducted by an outside nation state, but SolarWinds has not verified the
identity of the attacker,” SolarWinds explained in its advisory.

Some security experts believe it has the hallmarks of a Russian hacking
collective known as Cosy Bear, which has links to Russia’s Foreign Intelligence
Service SVR. 

Former Homeland Security adviser Thomas Bossert said that “evidence in the
SolarWinds attack points to the Russian intelligence agency known as the SVR,
whose tradecraft is among the most advanced in the world.”

Cyber security firm FireEye, which was the first to report the hack after
falling victim to it, also said it was likely a Russian operation, using
“top-tier operations tradecraft and resources”, though Russia has denied any
involvement.



“I reject these statements, these accusations,” said Vladimir Putin’s press
secretary Dmitry Peskov.

“Even if it is true there have been some attacks over many months and the
Americans managed to do nothing about them, possibly it is wrong to groundlessly
blame Russians right away. We have nothing to do with this.”
