Cybercriminals typically tamper with the manufacturing or distribution of a product by installing malware or hardware-based spying components. Generally, supply chain attacks on information systems begin with an advanced persistent threat (APT) that determines a member of the supply network with the weakest cybersecurity in order to affect the target organization. ← Wikipedia
