The world is undergoing a cyber attack that is "remarkable for its scope, sophistication and impact", Microsoft president Brad Smith has warned.
The SolarWinds hack that was revealed in recent days is still "ongoing" and appears to be carried out "by a nation with top-tier offensive capabilities", Mr Smith warned in a blog post.
He said that the attack was part of a more widespread trend that put the US and the rest of the world under threat and so the example should serve as a "moment of reckoning".
Officials around the world have scrambled to respond to the SolarWinds hack, which appears to have affected both the most high-powered US government agencies as well as some of the globe’s biggest companies.
