Kevin Thompson, president and CEO of SolarWinds, in a video message to customers about the attack
Security software vendor SolarWinds has updated multiple versions of its Orion network monitoring platform to remove the Sunburst backdoor that was added to its code as part of a massive supply chain attack. The updates also block Supernova malware that attackers installed by exploiting a flaw in Orion. But incident response experts have warned that full cleanup may take years. SolarWinds asks all Orion platform customers to update their Orion platform software as soon as possible to help ensure the security of your environment, the company said in a recently issued security advisory.

The SolarWinds breach is a case study in how attackers can subvert a widely used piece of software to turn it to their advantage, says Lou Manousos, CEO of RiskIQ.
“The magnitude of this attack is hard to overstate,” Manousos says. “Having a supply chain vendor like this - with a legitimate program that is trusted - used to carry out an attack, it’s just unprecedented.
”The number of organizations that have been hit, the types of organizations - some really advanced security programs - I think we’re all shocked to see how the traditional protection that has been put in place just wasn’t as effective as we would have liked when we have trusted software like this.”
