The Russia-linked hackers behind last year’s compromise of a wide swath of the U.S. government and private companies have stepped up their attacks
But not all of the break-ins involved SolarWinds software. Government officials say 30% of the victims didn’t use SolarWinds products.
The latest disclosure of Russia’s alleged activities comes as the Biden administration has sought to curtail Moscow’s cyber aggression through a variety of means, including ongoing bilateral meetings intended to address a glut of ransomware attacks from Russian cybercriminal gangs on critical American infrastructure and businesses. Officials have offered mixed views on whether Moscow has cracked down on those criminal groups in response to U.S. pressure.
“Based on the details in Microsoft’s blog, the activities described were unsophisticated password spray and phishing, run-of-the mill operations for the purpose of surveillance that we already know are attempted every day by Russia and other foreign governments,” the U.S. government official said. SolarWinds, a seller of network management software, remains unsure of how it was first breached, but company executives and investigators have said that the initial point of entry could have been the same type of unsophisticated techniques that Microsoft has observed in this more recent activity.
