I don’t really understand what its possible to do with the data that has been stolen. Are we talking about the ability to shut down the power grid or something, or just knowing how much some CEO makes and hides offshore? The news is so vague.

Solarwinds monitors networks. As in, it has access to every computer on the network so it can send back information about those computers for monitoring purposes. If you own Solarwinds, you have a LOT of access to every computer on the network. You can steal technology, corporate strategy, get blackmail material, find holes in a company’s security operations. The military uses Solarwinds too. Although they wont get classified information (that’s another network not directly connected to the Internet), they can still get a lot that is sensitive.
