An attacker disrupts the supply chain lifecycle by manipulating computer
						system hardware, software, or services for the purpose of espionage, theft
						of critical data or technology, or to disrupt mission-critical operations or
						infrastructure. Supply chain operations are usually multi-national with
						parts, components, assembly, and delivery occurring in countries outside the
						United States. The economics of computer crime are increasingly favoring
						supply chain attacks as data theft and extortion, theft of technology
						covered by export controls, and industrial espionage can be carried out
						through modifications in technologies typically regarded as harmless.
						Manipulating a technology, component, or product, such as USB Thumb Drive,
						digital camera, or digital projector can provide a direct means for
						compromising targeted organizations with very little risk to the attacker.
