Defender Context
Defenders need to be aware of social engineering tactics, specifically fake job offers, used to infiltrate software supply chains. Organizations should train employees to recognize phishing attempts and implement robust security measures to detect and prevent the execution of RATs and infostealers. This is part of a growing trend of supply chain attacks, requiring a layered defense approach.
