Reacting to news reports claiming hackers may have used Czech software firm JetBrains’ TeamCity tool as an initial infection vector during the attack against SolarWinds, JetBrains CEO Maxim Shafirov says the company has not been contacted by investigators. But he says customer misconfiguration of TeamCity could have enabled a hack. JetBrains has not taken part or been involved in this attack in any way, the CEO says. He adds, however, that it’s important to stress that TeamCity is a complex product that requires proper configuration. If TeamCity has somehow been used in this [SolarWinds breach] process, it could very well be due to misconfiguration, and not a specific vulnerability.
