    Good insight here from a former top USG cyber official:

    Replying to @Bing_Chris
    And if it is APT29, they have been willing in the past to fight to maintain, or reestablish, presence. This isn't a situation where they are likely to run away once detected. This is not to aggrandize them--they did get caught--but to say it may be a battle.

    nice

    Asked about the suspected Russian hacking of Treasury & Commerce Departments, Wilbur Ross says on Fox Biz he can't get into details but "there will be more revelations soon...We are taking it very, very seriously." He initially joked the hackers weren't after his wife's recipes.

    eh I know kinda obvious. But worth pointing out. The FireEye blog says the attacker usually deleted the backdoor and established persistence after compromise.

    Something I think that is getting a bit lost is there's no easy fix for SolarWinds. There is no magic trick to reverse all those compromises. Doesn't matter if you patch or w/e. The attacker is in your network and it's going to be an uphill, individual battle to get them out.

    No surprise here, but the NSC has activated PPD-41 () and stood up the government's Cyber Response Group to respond to the breaches of various agencies. They're holding a phone meeting (NSC PCC level) today, a U.S. official tells me.
