How do you get bad things into someone else's software?
Outline of a purely fictitious story.....something Lee Childs might write in the next little while....purely fictitious!
The main protagonists are bad actors working in Ruritania. Here's the plot outline. Actions #1 through #6 are Ruritanian:
1. Read up on "agile", "scrum", "devops". Lots of boosters out there!
2. Read up on software companies who are using "agile", "scrum" or "devops".
3. Do some probing on the systems used by said software companies. If you find that the development environment is "accessible", move to step #4.
4. Insert bad stuff into the "agile", "scrum" and "devops" process stream.......no one will notice!
5. Wait six months for the bad stuff to hit the streets.
6. Bingo!!
7. Jack Reacher gets the job of cleaning up Ruritania!
