A widespread hack of software giant SolarWinds was found by cybersecurity firm FireEye as it investigated how its own systems were infiltrated in the same campaign—which is suspected of being the work of Russia.
Officials from California-based FireEye's incident response division, known as Mandiant, confirmed on Monday that its teams were first to raise the alarm to SolarWinds and U.S. law enforcement after discovering the far-reaching security compromise.
