Networking giant Cisco joined Microsoft in confirming a breach, though like its Redmond counterpart it believes the impact is limited, though investigations continue. “Following the announcement of the SolarWinds Orion Platform software attack, the Cisco Security team immediately began our established incident response processes to address the issue quickly and thoroughly, a Cisco spokesperson said. They added that the company was very confident that, though the malware was on its servers, no data was stolen. SolarWinds said the number of customers who might be affected by the attacks could be as high as 18,000. Microsoft said on Thursday that it has been in touch with 40 customers who were breached and their data potentially exposed.
