The judge in that case largely granted Ripple's motions for discovery, ordering the SEC to turn over all communications with third-parties regarding cryptocurrencies as well as all formal internal documents. They're still trying to talk the SEC's legal department down off the roof after that ruling.

I mean, if you were planning to. You can't. Their two factories, employing 6000 people to make Land Rovers, Range Rovers, and Jaguars, are closed temporarily because they can't get the chips.
Hundreds of people were prosecuted in this farce and some have spent years in jail, and now - after more than a decade of legal battles - the entire thing has been thrown out.
Codecov - a continuous integration tool - got hacked, and didn't notice for weeks.
That's okay, I don't use Codecov.

Case in point: HashiCorp, creators of Terraform, a tool for managing multi-cloud operations. At my day job we use AWS, Google Cloud, and IBM Cloud, as well as our own servers.
We don't use Terraform, because I don't trust anyone. If I can't look inside the files and see what it's doing, it doesn't get deployed.
But sooner or later I'm going to find that there was someone we did use to provide a key service and somewhere down the chain they did get hacked. And then I'll have to consider our own servers hacked.
