This article has no information apart from the corporate history that can be found on the companies website. To me it feels it has been written to better their google search result or marketing. Except if every company has a right to a Wikipedia page. Then I'll add my drycleaners in here too. -- 2A02:1810:3F09:DD00:2022:2F80:CF49:71CA ( talk) 07:58, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
I see no problem with the change you've made to include the software but remove the links. It was the huge inventory of links back to your commercial site I took issue with. The list of software itself seems relevant enough. Thank you. Fowartehlluz ( talk) 18:25, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

This page should not be speedily deleted because, while - granted - the article in its current form needs improvement (in particular to address the awful "list of dates and things", the SPEEDY nom seems to have been opened as an exercise in disruption to make a point. CSD A7 is not applicable as WP:GNG, WP:CORPDEPTH, and WP:SIGCOV are demonstrated. CSD G11 is not supported as there is sufficient non-promotional meat on the bones to balance any claims of puffery. If nominator feels strongly enough about it, they might go to the trouble of opening AfD(s) (instead of - bluntly - lazily slapping "speedy" tags on several dozen semi-related articles in a clear case of pointy disruption.) -- Guliolopez ( talk) 23:40, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Keep an eye on this. This is a major, major hack. Initial synopses:

@ Zazpot: If you check the Microsoft source, you'll see that it says that the backdoor was likely not native and that it suggests it may have been installed in a library using the standard automatic update feature, an update signed using a trusted certificate. The reason for my edit was that the original text was confusing, possibly suggesting that a pre-existing backdoor was used. Thanks, — Paleo Neonate – 06:20, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
I don't have time right now to incorporate this into the article, but maybe somebody else does? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-cyber-solarwinds/second-hacking-team-was-targeting-solarwinds-at-time-of-big-breach-idUSKBN28T0U1 Zazpot ( talk) 23:53, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
Can somebody explain, in language that a moderately computer-literate layman can understand, just what it is that SolarWinds software *does*?
I looked up SolarWind's SEC filings (the 10-K quarterly), but their summary of business wasn't much better than the introduction to this entry.
(SEC filings are usually not too promotional because they have lawyers reviewing them to make sure they won't mislead investors.) -- Nbauman ( talk) 16:18, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
I've collected articles regarding the SolarWinds hack here: https://ciexinc.com/blog/solarwinds-articles/. I update this on a daily basis. There is a search page which enables searching news sites that have published articles on the hack and aftermath: https://ciexinc.com/blog/solarwinds-articles/searchable.html
