Backdoor: ASUS faced risks for months, but hackers still succeeded in hijacking its update platform



During a White House press briefing in February, Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technology Anne Neuberger acknowledged this threat and warned that it will take months for the government to determine the full scope of the attack. "As of today, nine federal agencies and about 100 private sector companies were compromised," she said. "As you know, roughly 18,000 entities downloaded the malicious update. So, the scale of potential access far exceeded the number of known compromises. Many of the private sector compromises are technology companies, including networks of companies whose products could be used to launch additional intrusions."
