Dominion is trying to hide their relationship with Solar
Winds.
We reported yesterday that late Sunday night the Cybersecurity
and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
issued a rare Emergency Directive 21-01, in response to a KNOWN
COMPROMISE involving SolarWinds Orion products.
It turns out that Dominion was trying to hide the fact that they
were connected with Solar Winds:
Dominion deleted the reference
and link to “SolarWinds” from their website, but we have the
archive still.Now you see it… now you dont.https://t.co/oSdLXpWSJPhttps://t.co/JDWWFVfofr pic.twitter.com/NpuWdlS238

One reader shared with us some thoughts about Solar Winds
technology:
I work in IT and I am now left wondering if Solar Winds was used
as a backdoor “jump host” to get into Dominion machines. If the
machines each had a unique hostname and they were being connected
to a central network it is a rational way to explain it. A
“jumphost” is a server (which is very bad security practice, by
the way) that contains all the hosts on a network with their
hostnames and ip addresses so you can just “jump” to them or
remote to them. If they did indeed put a backdoor in Solar Winds
and connected these to a network, this is how they would do it:
Solar Winds might be hacked to be a jumphost. I cannot say this is
true for sure, but it is worth digging into. A “jumphost” is
bad because it puts all your hosts and devices into one basket and
if a hacker gets in there, you can only imagine what a nightmare
they can create.
No wonder Dominion is trying to hide their connection to
Solar Winds.
