supply-chain attack

LLMs may enhance supply-chain attacks by aiding social engineering, particularly spear phishing. Criminals can exploit existing LLMs rather than creating their own, making attacks more feasible. In 2025, targeted scams based on personal data could rise significantly, as attackers craft convincing messages. Previous incidents, like the Change Healthcare ransomware attack, underscore the potential impacts. Security tools are emerging, but users must remain vigilant against phishing and voice cloning scams. Effective prevention includes careful scrutiny of emails and communications.
