📌 Software Supply Chain Attacks — how trust breaks, and how to fix it

Modern apps lean on open-source packages, registries, clouds, and CI/CD. When any upstream link is compromised, clean projects ship trojanized code — as in the CCleaner incident. This explainer maps where trust fails and what to harden.

What’s inside:

1️⃣ The chain itself: repos, dependency managers, CI/CD, artifact storage — and the weak assumptions they rely on.
2️⃣ How attacks land: stolen maintainer accounts, poisoned updates, abused credentials, and automated pulls.
3️⃣ Case in point: a signed build gone rogue (CCleaner) shows why “official” isn’t always safe.
4️⃣ Mitigations that matter: SBOMs, provenance and signed builds to verify what you ship and where it came from.
