Microsoft has been monitoring a sophisticated attack involving compromised 3rd-party software, including an intrusion through malicious code in the SolarWinds Orion product. This results in the attacker gaining a foothold in the network, which the attacker can use to gain elevated credentials. For further details, please refer to the SolarWinds advisory and the FireEye advisory. 

 

Additionally, FireEye Red Team tools were recently stolen from the company. For further details, please refer to the FireEye blog post.
