Supply-Chain Attacks Target Trusted Software Platforms

Supply-chain attacks are increasingly targeting trusted software vendors, enabling attackers to distribute malware through legitimate updates. These breaches bypass traditional defenses and often involve stolen code-signing certificates and compromised build pipelines. Governments now issue urgent advisories following large-scale incidents, while vulnerabilities in popular libraries impact thousands of dependent applications. Organizations are responding by improving third-party vetting processes and adopting zero-trust strategies to limit implicit trust in software sources.
