WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA), Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement on the SolarWinds supply chain attack:

“As we learned in the NotPetya attacks, software supply chain attacks of this nature can have devastating and wide-ranging effects – whether it’s via niche Ukrainian tax software or, as here, network management tools relied upon by some of the world’s largest companies. As we gather more information on the impact and goals of these malign efforts, we should make clear that there will be consequences for any broader impact on private networks, critical infrastructure, or other sensitive sectors.”
