The still-unfolding breach at network management software firm SolarWinds may have resulted in malicious code being pushed to nearly 18,000 customers, the company said in a legal filing on Monday.

On Dec. 13, SolarWinds acknowledged that hackers had inserted malware into a service that provided software updates for its Orion platform, a suite of products broadly used across the U.S. federal government and Fortune 500 firms to monitor the health of their IT networks.

Sewer plan that will affect at least 100,000 customers wins approval
By setting the stage for the replacement of aging pipes, a sewer-consolidation plan that the Greenville County Council approved Tuesday night will accommodate future growth and reduce the risk of a crackdown by federal environmental regulators, supporters say.

Local restaurants open dining rooms to customers at 50% capacity
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - On November 20, restaurants in Kentucky had to close their dining rooms after Governor Andy Beshear signed a mandate in hopes to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
