BREAKING: FBI, Texas Rangers and US Marshals Raid Solarwinds HQ in Austin — More News Coming on CEO and Executive Vice President
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 12/14/2020 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 12/14/2020 5:54:33 PM PST by Kevin in California

Last night the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a rare Emergency Directive 21-01, in response to a KNOWN COMPROMISE involving SolarWinds Orion products.

This was only the fifth Emergency Directive issued by CISA under the authorities granted by Congress in the Cybersecurity Act of 2015.

CISA reported a breach of the SolarWinds Orion products.

This Emergency Directive called on all federal civilian agencies to review their networks for indicators of compromise and disconnect or power down SolarWinds Orion products immediately.

It’s GP, so 90% it didn’t happen.

That’s my feeling about GP too. Something may have happened, but they’ve exaggerated it so much that we’ll never know what. All that’s missing is a “boom.”

They are reporting a phone call to the Sean Hannity radio show that such a raid occurred. No other evidence as far as can be seen.

Back in the 90's, I heard that the Rangers do not get along with the FIB.

Had something to do with Waco.

If there was a crime there was “no intent”. “No reasonable prosecutor” would bring this to a Grand Jury. Nothing here. Let’s just move on.

This sounds bogus to me

Another “raid”

Just like the one in Germany that turned out to be bogus as well

Can anyone ever report on real news? Just the facts, no BS no booms no boomshells, no political bents or point of view, just the real news?

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/12/u-s-treasury-commerce-depts-hacked-through-solarwinds-compromise/

Communications at the U.S. Treasury and Commerce Departments were reportedly compromised by a supply chain attack on SolarWinds, a security vendor that helps the federal government and a range of Fortune 500 companies monitor the health of their IT networks. Given the breadth of the company’s customer base, experts say the incident may be just the first of many such disclosures.

According to a Reuters story, hackers believed to be working for Russia have been monitoring internal email traffic at the U.S. Treasury and Commerce departments. Reuters reports the attackers were able to surreptitiously tamper with updates released by SolarWinds for its Orion platform, a suite of network management tools.

In a security advisory, Austin, Texas based SolarWinds acknowledged its systems “experienced a highly sophisticated, manual supply chain attack on SolarWinds Orion Platform software builds for versions 2019.4 HF 5 through 2020.2.1, released between March 2020 and June 2020.”

In response to the intrusions at Treasury and Commerce, the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) took the unusual step of issuing an emergency directive ordering all federal agencies to immediately disconnect the affected Orion products from their networks.

“Treat all hosts monitored by the SolarWinds Orion monitoring software as compromised by threat actors and assume that further persistence mechanisms have been deployed,” CISA advised.
