+# My thoughts on the SolarWinds hack
+## A worst case scenario
+What if a threat actor was able to compromise a software program that gave
+operators insight into the systems that live on a network? A network map if you will as well as host up/down checking abilities. Oh, and a centralized storage place for credentials?
+What if the government (and a whole bunch of other companies with sensitive information) ran this software across alot of its infrastructure?
+
+Well that software was SolarWinds, and it has been owned. A nation-state level attack believed to be from Russian hacking group [APT29/CozyBear](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cozy_Bear) are believed to be behind the hack. They
+have compromised many of the internal government networks and work is ongoing to
+investigate the damage of companies and government agencies alike.
+
+As I am fairly fresh into a new security research position at [Kenna Security](https://www.kennasecurity.com/) 
+I want to begin this with a realization that targeted hacking has been going on for years. Me being a civilian, I have limited insight into the true nature of the intelligence operations that are constantly occurring across both the civilian/corporate internet and militarized networks. But I still do understand that this is something that is constantly occurring and one of the prime motivators for me to start learning about this space. I wanted to understand how the world works, and who controls the computers that control everything.
+
+Information control is everything in the world today, and the United States
+intelligence agencies have developed the systems to capture and collect
+a whole bunch of data. This will always be a target to foreign nation-states. Systems will need
+to be rebuilt from scratch and systems needs to start being forensically imaged/copied and analyzed by
+incident response teams and really really skilled hackers and programmers to try to
+rebuild things in a much more secure manner and track the nation state hackers
+footprints.
+
+I will be doing my best to start to better track down threat actors around the
+internet. Everybody in this space that is responsbile for securing
+infrastructure needs to always have a paranoid mindset and understand the
+realization of the world that we are in today. SolarWinds will not be the first
+example of this as we the future continue to unfold.
