 * Microsoft Says It Found Malicious SolarWinds Software in Its Systems


MICROSOFT SAYS IT FOUND MALICIOUS SOLARWINDS SOFTWARE IN ITS SYSTEMS


MICROSOFT ALSO HAD ITS OWN PRODUCTS LEVERAGED TO ATTACK VICTIMS.

Microsoft said the hackers used multiple methods of entry and is continuing to
investigate


Highlights
 * Hackers made use of Microsoft cloud offerings
 * CISA was continuing to analyse the other avenues used by the attackers
 * About 18,000 Orion customers downloaded updates that contained back door

Microsoft said on Thursday it found malicious software in its systems related to
a massive hacking campaign disclosed by US officials this week, adding a top
technology target to a growing list of attacked government agencies.

The Redmond, Washington company is a user of Orion, the widely deployed
networking management software from SolarWinds, which was used in the suspected
Russian attacks on vital US agencies and others.

Microsoft also had its own products leveraged to attack victims, said people
familiar with the matter.

"Like other SolarWinds customers, we have been actively looking for indicators
of this actor and can confirm that we detected malicious Solar Winds binaries in
our environment, which we isolated and removed," a Microsoft spokesperson said,
adding that the company had found "no indications that our systems were used to
attack others."

One of the people familiar with the hacking spree said the hackers made use of
Microsoft cloud offerings while avoiding Microsoft's corporate infrastructure.

Microsoft did not immediately respond to questions about the technique.

Still, another person familiar with the matter said the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) does not believe Microsoft was a key avenue of fresh infection.

Both Microsoft and the DHS, which earlier on Thursday said the hackers used
multiple methods of entry, are continuing to investigate.

The FBI and other agencies have scheduled a classified briefing for members of
Congress Friday.

The US Energy Department also said it has evidence hackers gained access to its
networks as part of the campaign. Politico had earlier reported the National
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which manages the country's nuclear
weapons stockpile, was targeted.

An Energy Department spokeswoman said malware "has been isolated to business
networks only" and has not impacted US national security, including the NNSA.

The DHS said in a bulletin on Thursday the hackers had used other techniques
besides corrupting updates of network management software by SolarWinds which is
used by hundreds of thousands of companies and government agencies.

CISA urged investigators not to assume their organisations were safe if they did
not use recent versions of the SolarWinds software, while also pointing out that
the hackers did not exploit every network they gained access too.

CISA said it was continuing to analyse the other avenues used by the attackers.
So far, the hackers are known to have at least monitored email or other data
within the US departments of Defense, State, Treasury, Homeland Security, and
Commerce.

As many as 18,000 Orion customers downloaded the updates that contained a back
door, SolarWinds has said. Since the campaign was discovered, software companies
have cut off communication from those back doors to the computers maintained by
the hackers.

But the attackers might have installed additional ways of maintaining access,
CISA said, in what some have called the biggest hack in a decade.

The Department of Justice, FBI, and Defense Department, among others, have moved
routine communication onto classified networks that are believed not to have
been breached, according to two people briefed on the measures. They are
assuming that the non-classified networks have been accessed, the people said.

CISA and private companies including FireEye, which was the first to discover
and reveal it had been hacked, have released a series of clues for organisations
to look for to see if they have been hit.

But the attackers are very careful and have deleted logs, or electronic
footprints or which files they have accessed, security experts said. That makes
it hard to know what has been taken.

Some major companies have said they have "no evidence" that they were
penetrated, but in some cases that may only be because the evidence was removed.

In most networks, the attackers would also have been able to create false data,
but so far it appears they were interested only in obtaining real data, people
tracking the probes said.

Meanwhile, members of Congress are demanding more information about what may
have been taken and how, along with who was behind it. The House Homeland
Security Committee and Oversight Committee announced an investigation Thursday,
while senators pressed to learn whether individual tax information was obtained.

In a statement, President-elect Joe Biden said he would "elevate cybersecurity
as an imperative across the government" and "disrupt and deter our adversaries"
from undertaking such major hacks.
