Coalition of Tech Companies Seizes Control of Domain Used for Hacking

Microsoft and a coalition of tech companies have intervened to seize and sinkhole a domain that played a central role in the SolarWinds hack, ZDNet has learned from sources familiar with the matter. The domain in question served as command and control (C&C) server for malware delivered to around 18,000 SolarWinds customers via a trojanized update for the company's Orion app.
