Our Customer and Community Approach to the SolarWinds Compromise

The report outlines the SolarWinds Orion supply‑chain compromise affecting roughly 18,000 customers (including government agencies and large corporations) and highlights that Censys observed 1,336 Orion hosts exposed on the Internet as of late December 2020; these hosts may be contacting adversary C2 infrastructure. Censys describes notifications to likely affected organizations, offers attack-surface assessments and monitoring, and provides search queries and guidance to assist defenders while urging adherence to the CISA emergency directive.
