SolarWinds hackers were able to access Microsoft source code
There's a very old homily that applies exactly to this flaming debacle: don't put all your eggs in one basket.WP says that SolarWinds "had about 300,000 customers as of December 2020, including nearly all Fortune 500 companies and numerous federal agencies."Everyone who thought that was a good idea, for whatever reasons - given the history of security - obviously screwed up badly. When -so many people- go -so wrong-, the problem is clearly bigger than the loss of 'too many secrets'.
