Developers Urged to Pin Dependencies for Supply Chain Security

Original: Security Tip: In modern development, "latest" is a moving target. 🛡️ To secure your software supply chain, pin your depe

Security experts are reminding developers that relying on the "latest" version of software dependencies is risky, since the code can change without warning. The advice is to pin dependencies to specific versions, or better, cryptographic hashes, so that what was tested is exactly what gets deployed, protecting projects from tampering and supply chain attacks.

Why now: Supply chain attacks are a growing concern, renewing attention on dependency management best practices.
