Security experts respond to the Amazon employee data breach
Briefly

Amazon's recent data breach, traced back to a third-party vendor's use of the MOVEit tool, is another wake-up call for the supply chain's hidden vulnerabilities. The MOVEit flaw initially hit hundreds, but the shockwave extended across 2,700+ organizations as the ripple effects reached third and even fourth-party vendors. We've identified over 600 MOVEit servers that were likely caught in this spray attack - leaving a vast field of potential targets. CL0P ransomware, the group exploiting this flaw, named 270 victims within three months, and the count is still rising.
This update to an older vulnerability exploit reinforces how third-party software remains one of the largest and least manageable cybersecurity risks organizations face, including large and technically sophisticated enterprises. By the time any company reacts to third-party software risks and vulnerabilities, they're already being actively exploited while just being publicly disclosed. It's time for a new approach in how we address our software supply chain.
