SolarWinds Orion is the Network Management tool of choice for much of the Fortune 500 and Government agencies world wide. It was how FireEye was hacked (came out 2 weeks ago).

Nation state attack - the community is saying Russia - but no one really knows.

This issue was announced yesterday and all government agencies had until noon today to power off and disconnect all of their SolarWinds systems.

These have read/write access to much of the worlds infrastructure - routers, switches, Firewalls, servers etc.

Likely to have been compromised for a significant amount of time (greater than 100 days).
