Remember when that Mitt-licking (s)tool, Chris Krebs [director of the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency], came out and lied that it was "the most secure erection ever"?
What a lying punk POS...

Hackers believed to be [emphasis mine] directed by [note the "directed by" - not "the SVR hacked" or "the SVR paid hackers to"] the Russian intelligence service, the SVR, used that routine software update to slip malicious code into Orion's software and then used it as a vehicle for a massive cyberattack against America. Does anyone believe any accusations against the Russians anymore? Knowing what we know about fraudulent dossiers, fraudulent impeachments, the U.S. government forcing companies to have back doors in their software, etc., the Russians were likely NOT behind it.

As far as I can tell, the Russians aren't Commies any more.
But our government is NaziCommies, now...

I don’t believe it.
Someone I know well is in cyber security and says there’s a difference between how the Russians and the Chinese do cyber attacks and this one actually has Chinese fingerprints all over it not Russian.

Astounding military defeat. And,
The hackers didn't do anything fancy to give them the domestic footprint, officials confirmed. In fact, they just rented servers from Amazon and GoDaddy.

Ron Plesco, a lawyer with the firm DLA Piper, has made cybercrimes a specialty of his practice. "I've been in situations where, while you're in there doing the investigation, [hackers are] watching your email, they're compromising your phone calls or your Zooms," he said. After weeks of working with the code, Meyers convened a Zoom call with leaders at SolarWinds and members of his team from around the world.

But I think NPR considers this a more important work:
Across The Internet, A Game Of Whac-A-Mole Is Underway To Root Out Extremism: https://www.npr.org/2021/03/16/972519460/across-the-internet-a-game-of-whac-a-mole-is-underway-to-root-out-extremism Mainstream companies such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter were already policing their services before the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, but they accelerated their efforts following the riot. It has led to an exodus of extremists to new platforms and the growth of "alt-tech," a term used to describe the sort of clone technology created by extremists to get around "deplatforming."
But all they mention to two extremists, while ignoring those of the Left-wing and the censoring of conservatives who are not actually white supremacist racists.

“It's really your worst nightmare," Tim Brown, vice president of security at SolarWinds, said recently. "You feel a kind of horror. This had the potential to affect thousands of customers; this had the potential to do a great deal of harm."Golly, gee. DEEP.

"The tradecraft was phenomenal," said Adam Meyers, who led the cyber forensics team that pawed through that tainted update on behalf of SolarWinds, providing details for the first time about what they found. The code was elegant and innovative, he said That eliminates India from the suspect list.
