«Мы можем довольно ясно сказать, что этим занимались русские», — заявил Помпео в интервью 19 декабря ведущему Fox News Марку Левину.

Pompeo believes that Russian agents have infiltrated the networks of American public and private institutions for several months, and this has happened not only with American companies.

Саму атаку Помпео описал как «попытку внедрить элементы кода в системы правительства США с помощью программы, разработанной третьей стороной».

Атаку расследуют, но результаты расследования, скорее всего, будут засекречены, сказал Помпео. Он добавил, что Россия «пытается подорвать американский образ жизни».

The current US President Donald Trump on Saturday, December 19, said that the mainstream media was drawing too much attention to the version of Russia, when in fact China could be behind the attack.

«Кибератака в фейк-СМИ выглядит гораздо значительнее, чем в реальности. Мне обо всем доложили. Все начинают кричать о России, когда что-то происходит, потому что мейнстрим-СМИ, в основном по финансовым причинам, страшно боятся говорить, что это мог быть Китай (а это мог быть он!)», — написал Трамп в «Твиттере».

What do we know about the attack?

Discovered this week, the Sunburst cyberattack began several months ago. It became the longest and largest in US history. The most affected was the American government, which most likely was the main target.

The hackers reportedly opened the computer networks of many American organizations, including the Treasury, Commerce and Homeland Security departments.

Cybercriminals managed to infiltrate computer systems through software products from SolarWinds, widely used at the corporate level.

About 18 SolarWinds customers have downloaded SolarWinds Orion network management systems. A week earlier, hackers hacked it and inserted a secret code into it. Thus, the attackers gained access to the data of all these companies and institutions.

Earlier this week, all US federal agencies were instructed to remove SolarWinds.

Governments and private companies around the world are now purging installed SolarWinds software products from their computer systems.

It will take several years to fully appreciate the magnitude of the Sunburst cyberattack, according to computer security experts.
