Programming languages and operating systems as well.
Even if open source, currently there is no European plan on how to take care of supply chain on those.
Huawei came up with a full stack, after the ties were closed, as an example. OS and languages.
- graemep 6mo agoIf is open source, why is there a problem?
- pjmlp 6mo agoDepends if anyone actually bothers to read the code for supply chain attacks. Also it would be great not to depend on that poor fellow in Nebraska to keep it running, and being further developed.
- graemep 6mo agoThat would not immediately stop you using it, and state sponsored attacks using exploits from supply chain attacks would be a far more aggressive move than just stopping supplying services. I do not know whether it would be technically an act of war, but its certainly practically so.
