You probably have heard of the SolarWinds hack which was published on 14 December 2020. In short, it appears as if Russian state-sponsored hackers have breached the software of SolarWinds, a supplier to 278,000 clients worldwide, amongst them Microsoft and all branches of the US government. The hackers were able to install a back door that allowed them to look at their victim’s computers and files at will, thus enabling them to get access to potential government secrets (very valuable) or the source code of Microsoft Windows (worthless).
Cyber security play is so important as code gets distributed in n everything and everywhere.
