Microsoft Corp. identified in December that a second suspected nation-state actor was involved in the now infamous hack of SolarWinds Worldwide LLC, but up until today the narrative in the mainstream media has been that it was just Russian hackers despite proof to the contrary.
Although Russian hackers may well have been involved, finally it’s now being admitted that Chinese hackers were too.
Reuters reported today, referencing five people familiar with the matter, that suspected Chinese hackers exploited a flaw in SolarWind’s Orion software to break into U.S. government computers last year. Describing it as a “new twist,” Reuters said the Chinese hackers exploited a software flaw that was separate from the one exploited by Russian hackers exactly what Microsoft said in December.

China’s growth is likely to moderate in the coming months as the country faces risks on two fronts, according to the chief Asia economist of Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs economist Andrew Tilton said the policy makers are quite comfortable with the recovery so far and are starting to pull back on policy stimulus to some degree. The world’s second-largest economy showed robust GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2020, expanding at 6.5% compared to a year ago. It beat market expectations and made China one of the few major economies in the world to record positive growth for a year mired by the coronavirus pandemic.
