Attorney General William Barr said Monday he believes the recent hacking campaign, involving an exploit of SolarWinds Orion network management software, was perpetrated by Russian hackers.

Barr was responding to a reporter’s question at a press conference on Monday about whether he agrees with the conclusion that Russians were behind the hack and what kind of a response can be expected on the part of the Department of Justice (DOJ) or the FBI.
