Hacking victim SolarWinds hires ex-Homeland Security official Krebs as consultant

SAN FRANCISCO: The company used by hackers as a springboard for the worst-known breach of US government computers in at least five years has hired some of the biggest names in security to help it recover.
SolarWinds Corp, which had backdoored versions of its network-management software go out to thousands of customers, had already hired CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. to help it assess the intrusion and protect it going forward.
