FireEye discovered a malware intrusion apparently emanating from Orion which it subsequently dubbed “SUNBURST.” FireEye’s hack resulted in the theft of 300 proprietary software tools. Speaking of SolarWinds, the Orion hack was initially discovered by cybersecurity firm FireEye - which itself was a victim of the SolarWinds incident. Start here to learn more about this attack and recommendations on what to do to mitigate its impact. We’ve written quite a bit about the SolarWinds Orion breach over the past few weeks. One thing is for sure, the repercussions of the attack will likely reverberate throughout 2021 and beyond. For months, if not longer, adversaries were able to use this backdoor to access sensitive data, potentially from hundreds of thousands of organizations around the world. The SolarWinds Orion breach was a cyber catastrophe caused by foreign hackers who infiltrated government and business networks through inserting malware into SolarWinds’ software updates. We’d be remiss if we didn’t start with the biggest data breach of the year - and, indeed, possibly one of the largest and most significant cybersecurity incidents ever. Let’s take a closer look at four of the big data breaches of 2020 - and what we can learn from these incidents to avoid a repeat of similar events in 2021.
Not to be forgotten during the chaos that was 2020 were the massive cybersecurity breaches that directly impacted some of the country’s largest businesses and their customers.
