The US government has revealed the updated figures on the number of companies and federal and federal agencies it believes were impacted by the recent SolarWinds hack, but also feels more will be impacted. “As of today, 9 federal agencies and about 100 private sector companies were compromised,” Deputy National Security Advisor Anne Neuberger said in a briefing.
The hack originally came to light late last year, when it emerged that hackers had compromised SolarWinds’ monitoring and management software, which is used by multiple government agencies and Fortune 500 companies.
Companies such as Intel, Nvidia, Cisco, Belkin, and VMWare have all reportedly seen computers on their networks infected, as well as the US Treasury, Commerce, State, Energy, and Homeland Security departments.
With the impact of the attack, it may take months before the government completes its investigation.
