Malwarebytes: No Compromised Software
Malwarebytes does not use SolarWinds Orion software, through which attacks have been carried out against Microsoft, FireEye, CrowdStrike and some US government agencies. At the end of the investigation, however, the software house has discovered that the perpetrators are the same (according to the FBI and NSA they are cybercriminals paid by Russia).Malwarebytes received a report from Microsoft about a month ago, in how suspicious activity was found in a third-party application in the Office 365 tenant. The investigation launched later revealed the source of the problem in "dormant" software for email protection.
Although it does not use Azure cloud services for product development, Malwarebytes has initiated a complete analysis of the source code that revealed no unauthorized access to production environments. Therefore, all software is intact and continues to offer the same security.
The number of cyber attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in cloud services are steadily increasing. Perhaps for this reason Trump has issued an executive order requiring providers, such as Microsoft, to collect foreign customer data and keep transaction records.
