Ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) targets CI/CD pipelines, increasing vulnerability as modern development relies heavily on third-party dependencies, transforming code into potential Trojan horses.
With the number of ransomware attacks rising by nearly 70% in 2023, software development teams face dire threats where their code and data can be held hostage.
The ransomware lifecycle showcases a systematic approach: from system infiltration through malicious dependencies, to the encryption of critical files, culminating in extortion demands.
Malicious open-source packages have notably tripled in 2023, exposing development teams to risks as attackers exploit the reliance on third-party libraries.
