U.S. Spy Agencies Say 'Likely Russian' Hack to Take Time to Fix
Source: Bloomberg
A group of U.S. intelligence agencies and the FBI said a major hack of the federal government and some corporations was likely undertaken by Russia and “will require a sustained and dedicated effort to remediate.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is still focused on identifying victims, collecting and analyzing evidence and sharing information about the sophisticated hack, according to a joint statement on Tuesday from the FBI, National Security Agency, Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
The hack targeted updates in widely used software from Austin, Texas-based SolarWinds Corp.
“This work indicates that an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor, likely Russian in origin, is responsible for most or all of the recently discovered, ongoing cyber compromises of both government and non-governmental networks,” according to the statement. “At this time, we believe this was, and continues to be, an intelligence gathering effort.”

We have an offensive Cyberwar capability too...and the people who are in it are DAMN GOOD. Best in the World at what they do.
They would do the reprisal event now, but for Winter. In the spring Putin is going to get a very very rude awakening.
