Microsoft: SolarWinds Hackers have struck again at the US and others

ytene writes: According to a report filed by CNN, the attackers behind one of the worst data breaches of all time have launched a new global attack on more than 150 government agencies, think tanks and other organizations.

This iteration of the attack was initiated when more than 3,000 email accounts were targeted, through what seems to be a compromise of a "Constant Contact email marketing account used by the US Agency for International Development".

James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, theorizes that this new assault is part of a Russian campaign plan for massive cyber attacks against the US and is part of a process of testing the new administration.

What do you think President Biden should do with respect to raising these attacks with foreign counter-parts in countries like Russia, China and North Korea? But what do you think will actually happen?
