I'm betting you there are improved efficiencies and safety measures with the tech and being online. Ransomware and hacks like it weren't a thought when things like the electric grid of oil/gas pipelines were put online. But that isn't an excuse for not beefing up protection and staying ahead of the cyber criminals - ESPECIALLY when we know this is the sort of target they'll go after.
The fact that FireEye is involved makes me feel good about it - they're phenomenal.
Wonder if the hackers are using the tools they stole from FireEye when they were hacked.
You referring to SolarWinds? I'm sure FE has mitigated any potential threat that could come from that compromise - or are in the process of creating tools to ID when they're own tech is being used. I've worked with them and go to conferences where they are at - that company is on top of it. They're forward thinking.
Maybe these tools are the stolen ones from the NSA - remember that in 2016?
I've been saying it for over 10 years (and repeatedly here) that the Russians are some of the most advanced, sophisticated nation-state sponsored hackers. Our leaders, all of them, going back to Obama have failed to protect us and defend us. Obama, Trump, Republicans and Democrats have utterly failed us. They've spent years practicing the very attacks we're seeing now. It's clear that the Ukraine is no-longer their cyber war proving grounds.
