In the last four years, the national security community has twice stated the dangers of supply chain hacks. Their advice happened after suspected Russian hackers had successfully penetrated federal agencies through a contractor’s software just last month. Despite the number of warnings, the government agencies could not fend off the attack because of not having a comprehensive plan gauge and eliminating risks from contractors.
