AI Supply-Chain Compromise

AI-enabled supply chain attacks are rapidly escalating, demonstrated by the NullBulge group weaponizing open-source repositories for data exfiltration and LockBit ransomware, and the Solana Web3.js library being compromised via phishing to steal cryptocurrency. These attacks leverage AI-generated polymorphic and context-aware malware, rendering traditional signature-based defenses ineffective and extending breach detection timelines.
