On Dec. 16, 2020, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a joint statement, along with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, annoucing the formation of a Cyber Unified Coordination Group to lead a whole-of-government response to the cyber incident affecting SolarWinds Orion products.

The FBI and CISA issued another public service announcement on Thursday, warning of the potential threat posed by foreign actors spreading disinformation about the 2020 U.S. presidential elections.
