“Supply chain attacks are a nightmare scenario for cyber-defenders and many organizations, as adversaries can gain access to internal networks by compromising devices or software prior to customer installation,” said Matt Ashburn, the former chief information security officer at the National Security Council, and now head of strategic initiatives at Authentic8, a company that sells cloud browsing tools.
Currently, it’s unclear how or whether the Trump administration will respond to the breach. Cybersecurity experts are split over whether to define it as an “attack” worthy of retaliation, given that there is no evidence yet that the hackers destroyed anything or plan to leak the information they stole, or as merely an impressive feat of espionage. Those definitions will likely evolve as more information becomes available about the campaign.
Smothers, who is now a senior vice president of cyber operations at security company KnowBe4, said the Justice Department might consider pursuing action against the Russian actors “given the breadth and scope” of the breach.
