Researchers with Microsoft and FireEye are disclosing additional malware used by the hacking group that targeted SolarWinds in December 2020, according to a pair of reports released Thursday.
The newly discovered malware appears to be second-stage payloads deployed by the hacking group after victimized organizations downloaded a Trojanized software update to SolarWind s Orion network monitoring platform, which contained a backdoor dubbed Sunburst, the reports note. While about 18,000 of the company s customers downloaded the compromised software update, the attackers only deployed additional malware against certain organizations.
Both Microsoft and FireEye found these newly discovered second-stage malware variants were likely deployed in the later stages of the supply chain attack, most likely around August or September 2020. The attackers appear to have first compromised the SolarWinds network in September 2019 and then inserted the Sunburst backdoor ....

At NIST s Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board meeting, Jay Gazlay, a technical strategist with CISA who has been examining the attack since it was first disclosed in December 2020, presented an analysis of what the agency has learned about the attack to date. That included a detailed timeline of how the hackers implanted a backdoor in a software update for SolarWind s Orion network monitoring platform. The update with the backdoor was eventually installed by about 18,000 of the company s customers. ....
