BREAKING: FBI, Texas Rangers and US Marshals Raid Solarwinds HQ in Austin — More News Coming on CEO and Executive Vice President
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 12/14/2020 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 12/14/2020 5:54:33 PM PST by Kevin in California

Last night the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a rare Emergency Directive 21-01, in response to a KNOWN COMPROMISE involving SolarWinds Orion products.

This was only the fifth Emergency Directive issued by CISA under the authorities granted by Congress in the Cybersecurity Act of 2015.

CISA reported a breach of the SolarWinds Orion products.

This Emergency Directive called on all federal civilian agencies to review their networks for indicators of compromise and disconnect or power down SolarWinds Orion products immediately.

“IF” is for children
That being said, I trust the Texas Rangers more than the FBI
(Or maybe I am just a child at heart)

Sudhakar Ramakrishna, the current CEO of SolarWinds was the CEO of a company named Pulse Secure.

Pulse Secure has their own security issues which is causing many firms (especially in Financial Services) to DUMP the Pulse Secure platform.

Now is the fact that Sudhakar Ramakrishna is the CEO of a second company with major security related issues? I work in Financial Services, we spent the better part of yesterday when this story broke through today on a SWAT call identifying and disabling our SolarWinds servers while migrating THOUSANDS of Windows and Linux servers over to a different platform.

Congratulations Sudhakar Ramakrishna. Every company you touch turns to sh*t and any company you have anything to do with the firm i work for has decided it will run from going forward.

Coincidence that Sudhakar Ramakrishna is at SolarWinds just in time for this? I think not.

BTW: US Treasury was compromised over the weekend because of SolarWinds. The ripple effect through ALL of Financial Services today remains huge.

This storey is being covered by the Austin American-Statesman as well:

Seems to be connected to the Treasury Department breach.

Chuck Norris could take down the whole cabal by himself. My wife’s cousin was proud to serve in the Texas Rangers and my FIL was board member of the Ranger Hall of Fame. I’d bet on them over the federal agencies any day.

Does SolarWinds have anything to do with the November election?

Even if they dont hit 100 percent reliability tbey are still way more reliable than 90 percent of the other crap!

You are just flat out wrong. At best, their reporting 20% accurate. And that is being charitable.

FTA ... FWIW

"Dominion Voting Systems uses SolarWinds products.
It’s right there on their website."

The link is useless unless you have an account with Solar Winds but it was in the GP article so I included it.

Dominion, among other government connected organizations, use the SolarWinds "Orion" products.

>>I have a good friend who’s a ranger who passed to me that the FBI, the Texas Rangers and the US Marshals are all at the SolarWinds headquarters in Austin, Texas and they are currently looking very seriously at the systems there<<

That doesn’t say it was a raid, it said they are there at their HQ, which they all should be because of the hack.

Talked with some network engineers at a sister site today. They not only pulled the plug on their SolarWinds setup, they’re scrapping the setup. Said the SolarWinds sales people were calling their customers bright and early this morning doing damage control. Their sales creature wanted to setup a conference call with visuals, etc. The one engineer told the sales person “How do I ever trust your software again? You guys blew it.”

SolarWinds is ‘gonna get pounded in the marketplace.
