New York Warns of Supply Chain Attack Dangers in Recent SolarWinds Report The next great financial crisis could come from a cyber attack. At least, that’s according to New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) Superintendent Linda Lacewell in a statement regarding DFS’ recent report outlining its investigation into the SolarWinds attack. The report summarizes the attack, the response by DFS-regulated companies and key measures to prevent future events of a similar nature. “Seeing hackers get access to thousands of organizations in one stroke underscores that cyber attacks threaten not just individual companies but also the stability of the financial industry as a whole,” Lacewell said.
