Hot Take:

It's like a scene straight out of a cybercrime thriller movie, but with a plot twist! The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is shaking things up by charging SolarWinds and its former Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) with fraud and internal control failures related to the 2020 cyberattack. It's like the SEC is saying, "Hey, it's not just the hackers we're after, but also those who left the door open for them!" This sure is a wake-up call for all the CISOs out there who thought they could snooze through their cybersecurity duties.
