SolarWinds is the commonly used name for the 2020 supply-chain compromise centered on SolarWinds software rather than a distinct, established threat actor name. The operation involved the compromise of software build or distribution processes to deliver malicious updates to downstream customers, enabling covert initial access into victim environments. Public reporting has widely associated the campaign with a Russian state-linked espionage actor commonly tracked under names including APT29, Cozy Bear, and UNC2452, but "SolarWinds" itself refers to the incident and victim platform, not the adversary. The campaign targeted U.S. government entities including the Treasury Department and State Department, along with numerous private-sector organizations. Its tradecraft is characterized by stealth, supply-chain intrusion, persistence, defense evasion, and post-compromise espionage-oriented access within selected victim networks.
