Security breach at Solar Winds
I find this article interesting.
https://www.moneytimes.com/articles/...ity-expert.htm It mentions a security expert (Vinoth Kumar), warned public/state agencies of a potential login security breach at Solar Winds involving "ftp" ????? Supposedely this led to a backdoor path to major Gov't/Commercial entities. Administrator: didn't know if this post belongs in this section or "other" since I don't know if it is BSD related.

They have been warned about weak update server password, and did not change it for a year. It looks suspicious.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolarWinds Russian hackers were involved. |

If any form of detail/truth from this incident (Ya Right!) reaches our level, I will be surprised! Still, the amount of informationl that is already available "appearing" to be news gives new meaning to the term IT security professional........
Scheeeeeeeez! |

The Guardian has an article from Bruce Schneier about this security breach: The US has suffered a massive cyberbreach. It's hard to overstate how bad it is

Thank you for the Schneier article, though the link didn't work for me. This link did.
