Special Report: Software Update Supply Chain Attacks

Published: July 12, 2018, 1:30 p.m.

In this week’s podcast, we discuss software supply chain attacks, a subject we wrote about in this year’s ISTR. Software supply chain attacks increased by 200 percent between 2016 and 2017, with at least one attack every month in 2017. Dick O’Brien is joined by Symantec threat researchers Candid Wueest and Gavin O’Gorman to discuss this surge in attacks, and also to talk about two high-profile examples of these kind of attacks: the Petya/NotPetya and CCleaner attacks.
