Sink-holing the primary C&C domain does two good things: 1) prevent further C&C, and 2) helps identify victims when the infection reaches out for C&C.

But it cannot do anything about the compromises and damage done, and continuing to be done, against existing victims. The malware has been running around in systems for months and has long since set up alternatives to the main C&C servers.

At the end of this, do you see Solarwinds still having a client base? It’s not as if they’re the only game in town.
