In December 2020, a major cybersecurity breach rocked the global business community. The SolarWinds Supply Chain Attack affected some of the largest organizations and government agencies in the world, including Microsoft, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the Treasury. The attackers, later identified as Russian hackers, compromised SolarWinds’ Orion software by injecting malicious code into routine software updates.

Over 18,000 SolarWinds customers unknowingly installed the infected update, giving hackers remote access to their systems. This attack was stealthy, sophisticated, and widespread, making it one of the most damaging supply chain attacks in history.
