Hackers infiltrated government agencies by piggybacking malicious code on commercial network management software from SolarWinds, a Texas company, beginning in March.

The campaign was discovered by the cybersecurity company FireEye when it detected it had been hacked — it disclosed the breach Dec. 8 — and alerted the FBI and other federal agencies. FireEye executive Charles Carmakal said it was aware of “dozens of incredibly high-value targets” infiltrated by the hackers and was helping “a number of organizations respond to their intrusions.” He would not name any, and said he expected many more to learn in coming days that they, too, were compromised.

FireEye, FiveEyes, lots of Eye programs.
Lots of Q drops with “Eyes On” in them.

When I read on other sites how Biden is naming people to posts in his (fake) administration, I realize he is playing Whitehouse Monopoly where he and Kamala will land on “Go to Jail - Do not collect $200”!

Melian, from that description, it had to have been a state-sponsored attack.
