SolarWinds Sunburst attack

Microsoft says it found 1,000-plus developers’ fingerprints on the SolarWinds…

So, what I want to see is an immediate decision from Canada’s Privacy Commissioner that anyone who has had SolarWinds on their system is in breach of Canada’s PIPEDA laws. Ditto the GDPR. How is it that you use a piece of software which, aside from the immediate breach of security it represents, could have been used to stash back doors in your systems, and still call yourself in any way “compliant”?

Our school board got hit by a ransomware attack last month. Guess what? They used SolarWinds… My bet is that we see a lot more of this.

If we don’t, then the criminals have really let their game slip…
