Half of publicly reported supply chain attacks were carried out by “well known APT groups”, according to an analysis by EU infosec agency ENISA, which warned such digital assaults need to drive “new protective methods.”<\/p>\n

Of the 24 supply-chain attacks studied by ENISA since January 2020, a dozen were attributed to APTs while 10 of them hadn’t been attributed to anyone at all in open-source reporting, the agency said.<\/p>\n

Juhan Lepassaar, ENISA’s exec director, said in a canned statement: \u201cDue to the cascading effect of supply chain attacks, threat actors can cause widespread damage affecting businesses and their customers all at once. With good practices and coordinated actions at EU level, Member States will be able to reach a similar level of capabilities raising the common level of cybersecurity in the EU.\u201d<\/p>\n
