Top U.S. government agencies said Tuesday that Russia was likely behind the hack of SolarWinds technology, which caused a breach of U.S. government systems, calling it “a serious compromise that will require a sustained and dedicated effort to remediate.”
The federal security agencies in a rare joint statement said they believe, based on evidence so far, that the hacking effort was intended for “intelligence gathering,” as opposed to an attempt to damage or disrupt government operations in the United States.
