Trusted Channels Exploited in a Week of Cyberattacks

Original: (andreafortuna.org) When Trusted Channels Become Attack Vectors: A Week of Exploited Conveniences in Cybersecurity In br

The piece argues that the very conveniences organisations rely on are increasingly being abused to reach victims indirectly. Security commentators shared the summary as a snapshot of a broader trend of supply-chain-style abuse of trusted intermediaries.

Why now: Security professionals are drawing attention to a growing pattern of attacks that abuse trusted third-party relationships rather than direct compromise.
