Third-party report finds ‘no evidence’ that security firm’s source code was modified
Email security firm Mimecast has confirmed that a network intrusion earlier this year was conducted by the same “sophisticated” threat group that was behind the SolarWinds supply chain attack.
Mimecast’s networks were compromised in January after malicious actors gained access to its production grid environment.
A report released yesterday (March 16), produced by a third-party forensics team at Mandiant, has determined that the attack was conducted by the same actors who were responsible for the high-profile SolarWinds hack.

In a port-mortem of the attack, assailants believed to be from Russian hacking group APT29 were said to have exploited a backdoor in SolarWinds’ Orion software to gain access to the Mimecast production grid environment.
