About this tag
This supply chain attacks tag follows reporting on how trusted software and development workflows can be abused before code reaches users. Coverage includes the QuickFox incident, in which altered Windows application releases delivered the FDMTP backdoor, with response guidance focused on removing affected builds, checking for persistence and outbound traffic, and rotating exposed credentials. It also examines Cordyceps-style CI/CD risks, where workflow trust mistakes could expose many open-source projects and compromise the path from source to release. Related coverage explores AI-assisted social engineering against an open-source maintainer, underscoring the importance of human review, repository controls, and scrutiny of activity surrounding software delivery.

The finding matters less because of any...
