The top lawmakers on the Senate Armed Services Committee said they had been briefed on the cyberattack and that they feared it had “the hallmarks of a Russian intelligence operation.”
Sens. James M. Inhofe, R-Okla., and Jack Reed, D-R.I., said the U.S. government “must do everything possible to counter” the attack and called on Trump to immediately sign the defense policy bill into law.
Trump has said he would veto the bill — despite veto-proof majorities in both chambers — because it does not contain any provisions to address social-media companies’ content moderation.
The FBI is leading the effort to investigate and gather intelligence “to attribute, pursue, and disrupt the responsible threat actors,” while CISA already had issued an emergency order asking all federal agencies to disconnect the SolarWinds software on their computers, according to the agencies. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is gathering and sharing intelligence information with all agencies on the attack and its aftermath, the statement said.
SolarWinds’ customers
Austin, Texas-based SolarWinds developed and supplied network management software that top U.S. government agencies and Fortune 500 companies used to monitor their own networks. On its now deleted customer list page, SolarWinds stated that its clients included 425 of the Fortune 500 companies, including Microsoft, Lockheed Martin and Ford Motor Co., as well as all “five branches of the U.S. military,” the Pentagon, plus the Justice Department, State Department, and the “Office of the President of the United States.”
