Celebrating innovation in a world of virtually unlimited compute power, one story at a time.
Never before has a hack of this sophistication and scale been seen. But now that 18,000 organizations are considered breached, what can the hacked information be used for? We walk through the worst case scenario possibilities of what the cyberattackers could do with the SolarWinds hack data -- from espionage to overwhelming electric grids -- and what that could mean for all of us, including those in the high performance computing industry. We also explore the Senate and congressional hearing testimonies given by Kevin Mandia, CEO of FireEye, and Brad Smith, President of Microsoft, about what the hackers went after once they were in the system, and whether the future of cloud poses a greater risk or a stronger solution.
