In one of the bluntest assessments of U.S. government security shortcomings around the SolarWinds hack, a top Department of Homeland Security official told senators on Thursday that federal defenses simply aren’t aligned properly to detect advanced attackers. The testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on federal cybersecurity weaknesses points to a forthcoming reorientation of how DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency protects agencies from threats. It’s a shift resulting from the fallout from the hack at federal contractor SolarWinds that resulted in breaches at numerous federal agencies and major technology companies. And it’s a shift that Congress is aiding with $650 million that it recently appropriated for CISA. “Part of the challenge is that you can only secure what you can see,” Brandon Wales, acting director of the agency, told committee Chairman Gary Peters, D-Mich. “Over the past decade our system of protection has largely relied […]

Microsoft and FireEye on Thursday revealed three more malware strains associated with the suspected Russian perpetrators who breached SolarWinds’ Orion software and used its update to infect federal agencies and major companies. FireEye named one strain Sunshuttle in a blog post. In a separate blog post, Microsoft dubbed two more strains GoldFinder and Sibot, and labeled the strain FireEye called Sunshuttle as GoldMax. Microsoft said the strains join the previously known SolarWinds hacker tools Sunburst and Teardrop. The traits the new malware strains exhibit are yet more evidence that the hackers behind that breach are, in fact, notably sophisticated — a term often affixed to virtually any hacking group by their victims. “They are tailor-made for specific networks and are assessed to be introduced after the actor has gained access through compromised credentials or the SolarWinds binary […]
