Canada's cybersecurity unit is urging Canadian users of SolarWinds' Orion software to investigate whether their systems have been compromised in a "far reaching" hack revealed earlier this month. The impact on these compromised systems remains unidentified, but analysis is ongoing." By compromising that platform, the attackers were able to insert malware into the systems of SolarWinds' clients. The alert goes on to outline technical details of how to identify and mitigate systems which may be compromised by the hack. On Wednesday, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the U.S. cybersecurity agency, said the hack was having an impact on state and local governments.
