Could supply chain attack become a new normal?

The cybercrime group, cl0p, staged a substantial supply chain attack on the MOVEit software, impacting over 130 organisations worldwide and potentially affecting millions of individuals’ data. Major firms targeted include UK’s BBC and Boots, British Airways, Shell, Siemens Energy, and US federal agencies. Cl0p urged affected companies to negotiate directly with them instead of issuing fixed ransom amounts. This event underscores the growing threat of such attacks, prompting a shift in focus to preventative measures in cyber-defence.
