it is much easier for highly skilled hacker to get fake identity and get employed at SW than to compromise an employee - although this is longer term play

> get fake identity

Wouldn't Google, Apple etc do background checks that discovered fake identities? Or is it not so easy with background checks?

Maybe SolarWinds would be less careful though?

nation state spies can get fake identities issued legally by their own government and will be confirmed as usual during the background check

Ok. That's interesting.

I incorrectly assumed they'd try to get a fake US passport/identity.
