> The attackers gained access to a legacy, third-party cloud file storage system.

I think the answer is ok but the "third-party" bit reads like trying to deflect part of the blame on the cloud storage provider.

The whole codebase & tools at whatever company I ever worked at was using 99% legacy stuff. Its wild...

Often times it would have been easier to rebuild the whole project over trying to upgrade 5-6 year old dependencies.

Ultimately the companies do not care about these kinda incidents. They say sorry, everyone laughs at them for a week and then after its business as usual, with that one thing fixed and still rolling legacy stuff for everything else.

All stuff is legacy the moment you deploy it.

All work created by a company decays, it's legacy code within months.

Yea it shouldn't be this way. Its only happening due to lack of standards and the software world essentially being the wild west.
