SolarWinds: "IT's Pearl Harbor."

What do SolarWinds, Fidelis, FireEye, Microsoft, Mimecast, Palo Alto Networks, and Qualys all have in common? Each and every one were victims of the SolarWinds software supply chain attack. There are more, many more. The Russian government's hack of SolarWinds's proprietary software, Orion network monitoring program, ruined top government agencies' and tech companies' security. Months after it was first revealed, we're still trying to get our arms around just how bad the breach was.
