Note: despite the name, this is a legitimate white hat site.

"While it's not immediately clear how the attackers got access to the
code base, security researcher Vinoth Kumar's disclosure about
SolarWinds' update server being accessible with the password
"solarwinds123" assumes new significance given the overlap in timelines.

Kumar, in a tweet on December 14, said he notified the company of a
publicly accessible GitHub repository that was leaking the FTP
credentials of the company's download website in plaintext, adding a
hacker could use the credentials to upload a malicious executable and
add it to a SolarWinds update."

I guess that's better than password1.

More embarrassing, the hackers got 60 of the tools used by FireEye's Red
Team for pen testing. Some were open source like mimikatz, others were
proprietary. The good news is FireEye found the SolarWinds hack while
trying to figure out how they got hit.
