So why "colossal"? > "This is a colossal and devastating supply chain attack," Huntress Labs' senior security researcher John Hammond said in an email to Reuters news agency. The BBC is going with "colossal" in their headline simply because the guy who discovered the incident said so?

The next such attack -- which will be much larger than this one -- will be called super-colossal. The next such attack.. :)

The BBC headline uses 'colossal' in quotation marks. So yes, it's a quote.
