Software hack inserted in their latest update. Gave “god” power to hackers. Hackers believed to be a nation state.

Someone said, not confirmed, used by Dominion.

Just an FYI, it was only SolarWinds ORION that is affected by this. If you or your company uses other SolarWinds products (such as N-Able or N-Console; which are their MSP RMM offerring), then you're fine. My law firm's MSP uses N-Able and they confirmed this. Not that it would have made a difference to us. I've got our network so locked down that an electronic fart would be noticed and blocked before it got to our firewall.
