Thanks to Gina Rosenthal for sharing a wonderful article from Wired about the details behind the SolarWinds Orion supply chain hack that we covered back at the end of 2020. You may recall that SolarWinds was compromised by Russian hackers and their software was infected and used to breach the US government as well as Microsoft, Mandiant, and more. In this article we're learning even more interesting information, such as the source of the attacks from the Russian SVR which is their version of the CIA, to the fact that the US DOJ detected signs of the attack just a couple of months after the infiltration and didn't pick up on the possiblity of it being a larger issue. The whole article is a fascinating read but what strikes me is that we're now 2.5 years past this earth shattering situation and we still don't know for certain if we could be impacted by it again. Chris, have we learned any lessons from this?
