Supply chain attack
An attack that goes through a trusted supplier or piece of software to reach its customers by rebound.
Rather than attacking its target head-on, the criminal compromises a link upstream: a software vendor, a service provider, an update. By booby-trapping that link, they hit all of its customers at once. It is hard to spot, because the attack comes from a normally trustworthy source.
