Ever hear of Software IT company SOLAR WINDS? It sez a supply chain attack occurred when it was updating software. So why do we care?

"Russian hackers suspected of cyber attack at Federal Agencies." The email systems were breached at the Treasury and Commerce departments and other breaches are being suspected and investigated.

Allegedly the hackers embedded a virus in the software updates. Sophisticaed?

Supply Chain Attack. What is that and how long has it existed?

What is the worst case damage they could have already done? What else might they be working on? Are they a lot SMARTER than we are? Russia or whomever?
