Introduction to the SolarWinds Project

The SolarWinds project seeks to analyze the 2020 SolarWinds hack. The SolarWinds hack appears to be a large-scale hack with several intertwined storylines. During this project, we will attempt to disentangle these storylines, create a picture of that which is known, and outline the unknowns.

The analysis is presented as “blog” posts and interprets publicly available information in news articles and corporate blog posts.
