NASA and the FAA were also breached by the SolarWinds hackers

NASA and the US Federal Aviation Administration have also been compromised by the nation-state hackers behind the SolarWinds supply-chain attack, according to a Washington Post report. The two attacks are part of a broader espionage effort targeting and compromising multiple US government agencies over the last year. The attacks are the last two to be identified after the hacks of seven others have already been acknowledged since the espionage campaign was uncovered. The threat actor behind these attacks is currently tracked as StellarParticle (CrowdStrike), UNC2452 (FireEye), SolarStorm (Palo Alto Unit 42), and Dark Halo (Volexity) The FBI, ODNI, and NSA issued a joint statement saying that it is likely a Russian-backed hacking group.
