Widely used Daemon Tools disk app backdoored in monthlong supply-chain attack
A significant supply-chain attack has been identified targeting Daemon Tools, a widely-used disk imaging utility for Windows. According to security researchers, a backdoored version of the application was distributed for over a month, compromising systems that installed or updated it during that time.
MY TAKE
This is another stark reminder that no part of the software supply chain is safe, not even long-standing desktop applications. It reinforces the critical need for verifying dependencies and implementing robust security checks in our build processes.
