FINALLY, SolarWinds is forced to answer to the "password123" issue. Thompson blames an INTERN for having "violated our password policies and they posted that password on an internal, on their own private Github account." No explanation why it was "password123" in the 1st place — PolitiTweet.org

Terrifying to imagine if the Post had gotten gobbled up by a hedge fund instead of getting the resources it needed to aggressively cover the last eight years. The reality is also slightly terrifying. https://t.co/JF1k0dOhja https://t.co/qdvJE8fYei — PolitiTweet.org

FireEye says the intrusion was difficult to detect because once the malware had obtained high-level security privileges on a victim network, it had the power to basically bypass whatever endpoint security may have been protecting the system, like Microsoft Defender. — PolitiTweet.org

For its part, Microsoft says it didn't detect the intrusion sooner because the malicious activity was "very limited on Microsoft's own network" and that it didn't know what to look for before FireEye raised the alarm. — PolitiTweet.org

Why didn't SolarWinds catch the Russian intrusion sooner? Was the company proactively hunting for threats? SolarWinds's former CEO dodges before finally acknowledging "I can't recall" whether the company had been doing threat-hunting specifically before the hack was disclosed. — PolitiTweet.org

So far the subtle debate at this hearing has been, basically, "Do we think interoperability, more resources for regulators, and non-discrimination rules should be the main thrust of new legislation, or do we think those are just table stakes and there's consensus to go further?" — PolitiTweet.org
