The SolarWinds attack may have compromised accounts of nearly 30 US prosecutors, the details of which have been made public now. The cover of several informants could be at risk of being blown.
The Justice Department says that during a major breach last year, almost 30 top US prosecutors reportedly had their office email accounts hacked. This was the worst cyber-espionage attack on the US government that targeted the users of the SolarWinds software. According to reports from the department, at least one office computer each of 27 US attorneys was hacked. It is possible that hackers were able to access sensitive information that includes the names of informants as well.
