    “You pay us, and we will protect you”

    Don’t they usually smash a few Windows before they say this sentence?

        Hey now. Solarwinds is marketed as a monitoring app. The security backdoor thing was entirely unintentional.

        (But, c’mon: if you’re giving admin privs to an app that calls home, and you can’t see the source, and you can’t validate the app on the other end, you’re basically asking for pwnage)

            That’s right I was thinking of cloud strike!

            Fun fact, that event convinced management at work to start moving from Windows server to Linux boxes. Since the only services that were not down for a significant amount of time was the Linux services. Fun times.
