SolarWinds hack required massive, sophisticated effort

The stunning SolarWinds hack that cybersecurity experts blame on Russia likely took a massive, disciplined effort by more than 1,000 software engineers, Microsoft President Brad Smith said Tuesday. The SolarWinds incident was different, he said: it was like a burglar who "manages to turn off the alarm system for every home and every building in the entire city." In the Senate hearing, FireEye chief executive Kevin Mandia described the hack as the culmination of a "multi-decade" effort by the attackers. In the hearing, both tech company officials and lawmakers said the breadth of the SolarWinds hack showed there needs to be a mandatory reporting system for companies discovering they have been penetrated by hackers.
