Initial investigation revealed that malware injected into its networks

 This is looking like it’s the worst hacking case in the history of America, the official said. They got into everything. The official said the administration is working on the assumption that most, if not all, government agencies were compromised but the extent of the damage was not yet known.

At the Department of Energy, the initial investigation revealed that malware injected into its networks via a SolarWinds update has been found only on its business networks and has not affected national security operations, including the agency that manages the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile, according to its statement. It said vulnerable software was disconnected from the DOE network to reduce any risk.

The intentions of the perpetrators appear to be espionage and gathering information rather than destruction, according to security experts and former government officials. If so, they are now remarkably well situated. Thomas computer engineering jobs, a former Trump Homeland Security adviser, said in an opinion article in The New York Times that the U.S. should now act as if the Russian government had gained control of the networks it has penetrated.
