New There is a fix.
The Register: Backdoored SolarWinds software, linked to US govt hacks, in wide use throughout the British public sector
SolarWinds' customers are being urgently advised by the firm to upgrade to Orion Platform version 2020.2.1 HF 1 "as soon as possible to ensure the security of your environment."
Alex

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov

New The true fix
