What is a “supply chain attack”? In one sentence 🔍
➡️ Instead of breaking into a product, attackers tamper with it before it reaches your hands.
That’s what happened in a recent case: the device’s design itself wasn’t compromised, but something went wrong at a third-party distribution stage. By the time buyers received their devices, they had already been modified—even hardware implants were found inside.
🤔 What does this mean?
🔸 You check whether the “device looks right,” but the attack happened before you checked it.
🔸 So the real line of defense isn’t during use—it’s at the point of purchase.
In short: trust has to be built from the source.
Where you buy something can sometimes matter more than what you buy 📦
