Blaming GRU for hacking SolarWinds is like blaming rain for being wet. The actual target of "vigorous response" should be arrogant and incompetent software vendors who win gov tenders by declaring all kinds of security compliance yet cannot deliver on the very basics.

That article reads like something you'd see on RT, but your point I totally agree with. A lot of these enterprise "network security companies" are more expert at leveraging relationships than they are at actually making a compelling security product.
@cjd Well, they don't deny or cast doubt on the GRU hacks which is typical RT mode of operation. What I see in this article is more of a tone like "stop whining like babies, it's you who screwed up".
@kravietz
If somebody talks about a democracy hacking a dictatorship's nuclear program in the same article as a dictatorship hacking a democracy's elections, that's too far into the propaganda zone for me to take seriously.
You can be morally right but still get breached if screw up your infrastructure, that's the key take away here.
