    Supply chain attacks are extremely cheap/easy and very effective, so get prepared for more of them in the future.

    It really bothers me, that many companies make billions utilizing open source without contributing money/employees etc. to secure/supply/maintain supply chains.

      This one might not have been that cheap. The malicious code was added by a maintainer on the project for two years. That is some patience

        Agreed. I am more speaking of 'in general', for example there was a supply chain attack on a widely used npm package by writing an email to the author of the npm package. There are other 'cheap' attacks like dependency confusion, typo squatting etc.
