Russia's hacking/software capabilities have always fascinated me. I might be out of the loop, but it very much feels like this "online cold-war" is very one-sided towards Russia, which is ridiculous given US capabilities. Though, this could be attributed to the US simply not getting caught.
Nonetheless, everything I've read points to Solarwinds conduct being borderline negligent. For example, they not only told customers to ignore inaccurate checksums but they also failed basic server security.
- wonder_er 6y agoI read Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon a few weeks ago, and really enjoyed it. I'd recommend giving it a read. It gives an accurate-but-uncomfortable overview of how the US government handles cyber security issues.
