Real-world attacks

It has happened in government.

Publicly reported incidents in this sector, and where Aithsense's detections apply.

2020

SolarWinds supply chain compromise

A trojanised SolarWinds Orion update reached about 18,000 customers. The attackers then went deeper into selected US government agencies and companies and stayed unnoticed for months.

Where Aithsense helps

Hunts for trusted software behaving unusually: new outbound connections from management servers, unexpected authentication token activity and dormant backdoors.

2021 to 2022

UK Electoral Commission breach

Hostile actors exploited the Commission's Microsoft Exchange server and gained access to systems holding copies of the electoral registers, covering around 40 million people. The intrusion went undetected for over a year.

Where Aithsense helps

The Vulnerability agent ranks exposed systems such as internet-facing mail servers by active exploitation, while the Hunter agent searches back for signs they were already used.

2023

British Library ransomware

Rhysida ransomware took the British Library's systems offline for months and stolen staff and user data was published. The Library's own review pointed to likely entry through a third-party remote access account without MFA.

Where Aithsense helps
