Security expert warns hackers will copy Solarwinds

Lindy Cameron, the chief executive of the UK National Cyber Security Centre, has warned that December 2020’s Solarwinds attack may inspire further incidents in the future. She explained that strikes on major corporation supply chains are a huge success for any cybercriminal, and that the considerable disruption caused by the Solarwinds attack would be a blueprint for others. Cameron singled out supply chain and ransomware hacks as threats the world would face for years to come. “It's particularly the case because we anticipate that technology supply chains will become increasingly complex in coming years," she said.
