Attacks and malware

What is Supply chain attack?

Compromising a trusted supplier, software update or library so the attack reaches all of that supplier's customers through a channel they already trust.

A supply chain attack compromises something a target already trusts, such as a software vendor, an update server, an open-source package or a managed service provider, and uses it to reach many victims at once.

The victims did nothing wrong: they installed an update or a dependency as normal. That makes supply chain attacks hard to prevent and gives them a large blast radius.
