This week’s disclosure of a Russian firm masquerading as an American company highlights yet again the potential security concerns hidden within software supply chains.
The company, Pushwoosh, provides coding language and data processing for companies building software applications. Its code allows software developers to track and profile app users to customize the notifications they receive.
While Reuters’ exclusive story noted Pushwoosh’s integration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), that agency was far from alone. Interos’ own analysis has identified additional industries and countries most at-risk of exposure to Pushwoosh code and potential data breaches.
