CISA orders every federal civilian agency using SolarWinds technology to shut it down immediately
It was reported on Monday that 33,000 customers of a technology firm known as SolarWinds, based out of Austin, Tex., were hacked, resulting in 18,000 of them supposedly using a “trojanized” version of the company’s Orion software platform without knowing it. In response, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released an urgent memo calling on all “federal civilian agencies” to “disconnect and power down all SolarWinds Orion products immediately” – does this signal the commencement of a cyberpandemic?
News about the breach sent shockwaves all across the nation and even around the world as SolarWinds Orion is used by everything from government agencies and telecommunications companies to the United States Postal Service (USPS) and the Pentagon. SolarWinds technology is also used in Dominion Voting Systems, which as we now know, facilitated a fraudulent election on behalf of Joe Biden and the Democrats.
The extent of what this hack means for the infrastructure of pretty much everything that runs today’s world is still under investigation, though it is apparent that the situation is serious. Just like how the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) shut down the world’s economy, this computer virus, of sorts, threatens to demolish what remains of it, along with everything that relies on a network in order to function.
“There is concern within the U.S. intelligence community that the hackers who targeted the Treasury and the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration used a similar tool to break into other government agencies, according to four people briefed on the matter,” reported Citizen Free Press about the latest developments.
“The people did not say which other agencies, but late Sunday, Austin-based IT company SolarWinds said software updates it released in March and June of this year may have been surreptitiously tampered with in a highly-sophisticated, targeted, and manual supply chain attack by a nation state.”
“The compromise of SolarWinds’ Orion Network Management Products poses unacceptable risks to the security of federal networks,” stated acting CISA Director Brandon Wales on Monday. “Tonight’s directive is intended to mitigate potential compromises within federal civilian networks, and we urge all our partners – in the public and private sectors – to assess their exposure to this compromise and to secure their networks against any exploitation,” he added.
In the latest episode of his program, Christian of Ice Age Farmer explained that what has happened is that weapons of mass destruction – the cyber variety, just to be clear – have been stolen at the same time that “a back door” has been sent out into the world to utilize them.
“So this sets the stage for basically anything to happen in the coming days,” he further warns – be sure to watch Christian’s video update below:
If all is true as reputed to be, then in my opinion, IF President Trump does not protect USA from ALL National Security Breaches using the Insurrection Act, deployed Military for arresting Traitor's, and included are all & any CCP activities here, even afar China needs put on notice; IF Trump does none of this to respond to National Security issues, is Trump no better than the other's whom disappoint?
ReplyDeleteLet's pray President Trump does the right action, in timely fashion, and follows through! Kinda like preventing a Nuclear War, but in preventing a Red Dawn in the 21st Century would be welcomed by Trump making his chess move, IMO! Where is NSA by the way? Why have Agencies that prove to, do nothing to stop the breach madness, or so it seems? Alice in Wonderland out there for sure!!!
