ΚΟΥΡΗΤΗΣ: ΚΑΤΑ ΤΗΝ ΔΙΚΗ ΜΟΥ ΕΚΤΙΜΗΣΗ ΟΛΑ ΞΕΚΙΝΗΣΑΝ ΜΕ ΤΟ "ΣΠΑΣΙΜΟ" ΤΗΣ FireEye. ΑΥΤΗ ΕΙΧΕ ΑΝΑΛΑΒΕΙ ΤΗΝ ΑΣΦΑΛΕΙΑ ΑΡΚΕΤΩΝ ΔΕΚΑΔΩΝ ΥΠΗΡΕΣΙΩΝ ΑΛΛΑ ΚΑΙ ΕΤΑΙΡΕΙΩΝ ΠΟΥ ΠΑΡΗΧΑΝ ΕΡΓΑΛΕΙΑ ΣΤΙΣ ΥΠΗΡΕΣΙΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΤΑΙΡΕΙΕΣ. ΟΙ ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΕΙΣ ΑΝΑΦΕΡΟΥΝ ΠΩΣ Η FireEye "ΧΑΚΑΡΙΣΤΗΚΕ" ΠΡΟΣ ΤΟ ΤΕΛΟΣ. ΕΓΩ ΝΟΜΙΖΩ ΠΩΣ ΧΑΚΑΡΙΣΤΗΚΕ ΠΡΩΤΗ. ΟΙ ΔΙΕΥΘΥΝΤΕΣ ΤΗΣ ΔΕΝ ΗΘΕΛΑΝ ΝΑ ΑΠΟΚΑΛΥΨΟΥΝ ΤΟ ΓΕΓΟΝΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΠΡΟΣΠΑΘΗΣΑΝ ΝΑ ΜΕΙΩΣΟΥΝ ΤΙΣ ΕΠΙΠΤΩΣΕΙΣ. ΟΜΩΣ ΜΕΤΑ ΤΗΝ ΑΠΟΚΑΛΥΨΗ ΓΙΑ ΤΟ ΠΑΡΑ ΠΟΛΥ ΣΟΒΑΡΟ "ΧΤΥΠΗΜΑ" ΤΟΥ ΥΠΟΥΡΓΕΙΟΥ ΟΙΚΟΝΟΜΙΚΩΝ ΤΩΝ ΗΠΑ, ΑΝΑΓΚΑΣΤΗΚΑΝ ΔΗΜΟΣΙΩΣ ΝΑ ΠΑΡΑΔΕΧΤΟΥΝ ΤΟ ΓΕΓΟΝΟΣ. ΤΟ ΧΘΕΣΙΝΟ "ΠΕΣΙΜΟ" ΤΗΣ GOOGLE, ΕΠΙΣΗΣ ΝΟΜΙΖΩ ΠΩΣ ΟΦΕΙΛΕΤΑΙ ΣΤΟ ΙΔΙΟ ΓΕΓΟΝΟΣ, ΔΛΔ ΤΗΝ ΑΝΑΘΕΣΗ ΣΤΗΝ FireEye ΤΗΣ ΑΣΦΑΛΕΙΑΣ ΤΩΝ ΥΠΟΔΟΜΩΝ ΤΗΣ GOOGLE. ΤΟ ΧΘΕΣΙΝΟ ΧΤΥΠΗΜΑ ΣΤΗΝ GOOGLE ΕΙΝΑΙ ΠΑΡΑ ΠΟΛΥ ΣΟΒΑΡΟ ΚΑΙ ΟΙ ΕΠΙΠΤΩΣΕΙΣ ΤΟΥ ΘΑ ΦΑΝΟΥΝ ΤΟΥΣ ΕΠΟΜΕΝΟΥΣ ΜΗΝΕΣ. Η ΕΦΑΡΜΟΓΗ Google Docs/Drive ΗΤΑΝ ΑΥΤΗ ΠΟΥ ΕΝΔΙΕΦΕΡΕ ΤΟΥΣ ΕΠΙΤΙΘΕΜΕΝΟΥΣ ΚΑΙ ΣΕ ΑΥΤΗΝ ΠΡΟΛΑΒΑΝ ΚΑΙ ΠΗΡΑΝ ΠΡΟΣΒΑΣΗ ΕΠΙΛΕΓΜΕΝΩΝ ΣΤΟΧΩΝ. ΠΟΣΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΠΟΙΩΝ ; ΘΑ ΔΟΥΜΕ.
Governments and major corporations worldwide are scrambling to see if they, too, were victims of a global cyberespionage campaign that penetrated multiple U.S. government agencies and involved a common software product used by thousands of organizations. Russia, the prime suspect, denies involvement. Cybersecurity investigators said the hack's impact extends far beyond the affected U.S. agencies, which include the Treasury and Commerce departments, though they haven't disclosed which companies or what other governments were targeted.
The hack began as early as March when malicious code was snuck into updates to popular software that monitors computer networks of businesses and governments. The malware, affecting a product made by U.S. company SolarWinds, gave elite hackers remote access into an organization's networks so they could steal information. It wasn't discovered until the prominent cybersecurity company FireEye determined it had been hacked. Whoever broke into FireEye was seeking data on its government clients, the company said—and made off with hacking tools it uses to probe its customers' defenses.
Its apparent monthslong timeline gave the hackers ample time to extract information from a lot of different targets. Office of Personnel Management, in which the records of 22 million federal employees and government job applicants were stolen.FireEye executive Charles Carmakal said the company was aware of "dozens of incredibly high-value targets" compromised" by the hackers and was helping "a number of organizations respond to their intrusions." He would not name any, and said he expected many more to learn in coming days that they, too, were infiltrated.
SolarWinds, of Austin, Texas, provides network-monitoring and other technical services to hundreds of thousands of organizations around the world, including most Fortune 500 companies and government agencies in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Its compromised product, called Orion, accounts for nearly half SolarWinds' annual revenue Its centralized monitoring looks for problems in an organization's computer networks, which means that breaking in gave the attackers a "God-view" of those networks. FireEye described the malware's dizzying capabilities—from initially lying dormant up to two weeks, to hiding in plain sight by masquerading its reconnaissance forays as Orion activity.
Neither SolarWinds nor U.S. cybersecurity authorities have publicly identified which organizations were breached. The malware that opened remote-access backdoors was injected into SolarWinds' Orion product updates released between March and June, but not every customer installed them.The hackers would have also had to want to target the organization. Hacking on their level is expensive and the disciplined intruders only they chose targets with highly coveted information because the risk of being detected rose any time they activated the malware, said FireEye's Carmakal.
The so-called supply-chain method used to distribute the malware via SolarWinds' software recalled the technique Russian military hackers used in 2016 to infect companies that do business in Ukraine with the hard drive-wiping NotPetya virus—the most damaging cyberattack to date. In that case, the hackers inserted a self-propagating worm into a tax preparation software company's updates to infect its customers. In this case, any actual infiltration of an infected organization required "meticulous planning and manual interaction," according to FireEye.
An advisory issued by Microsoft, which assisted FireEye in the hack response, said it had "delivered more than 13,000 notifications to customers attacked by nation states over the past two years and observed a rapid increase in (their) sophistication and operational security capabilities."
