Up to 18,000 businesses, government agencies, and other entities downloaded the software update that made them vulnerable to being hacked, according to the company behind the update.

SolarWinds, an information technology firm, said in a new filing that the company believes up to 18,000 customers installed updates of its Orion network, which experts say opened them up to an attack that centered around a malware known as SUNBURST.
