The impact of a compromised supply chain attack can be far-reaching for both businesses and customers. For businesses, the consequences of such attacks can be costly and damaging. A successful attack that results in the theft of customer data may lead to financial losses due to fines and reputational damage due to the disruption of operations. Furthermore, a cyber breach that leads to the compromise of sensitive customer information can also have serious legal implications as it is likely to result in non-compliance with relevant privacy laws.
On the other hand, customers can also suffer from supply chain attacks. In addition to experiencing reputational damage due to their confidential information being exposed, they may also incur financial losses if their personal data is used fraudulently or if their accounts are hacked. Additionally, customers may experience additional issues such as identity theft or loss of access to services due to their accounts being compromised.
