You mean compromised code sneaking into Docker images? Or a DOS on dockerhub?
They worry about someone replacing the docker image on the hosting server with a malicious modified version for people to pull down during updates.
This worry exists for literally every 3rd party dependency, not just docker, and is addressed the same way - by running tests and vulnerability scans in a sandboxed test environment before shipping to prod
I was just answering a question. I had the same response above.
And I was just adding extra details
Supply chain attack has a definition. And it has nothing to do with DDoS.
ddos is vaguely related to a supply chain attack in the sense that it can be used as a distraction to implement said chain attack. it was pretty common tactic at one point.
I think this is what they meant, but it's a stretch.
