Hackers Tried to Breach My Pipeline at 3 AM — A DevSecOps Survival Guide 🛡️

This article recounts real-world security incidents—including SolarWinds, Codecov, ua-parser-js, and Log4Shell—to illustrate the dangers of supply chain attacks and unprotected CI/CD pipelines. It advocates a shift-left approach to DevSecOps, embedding security checks at every stage from IDE to runtime rather than relying on a single security gate before deployment. Practical defenses such as signed commits, ephemeral runners, dependency pinning, and private registries are outlined to prevent attacks like dependency confusion.
