There are at least three type of vulnerabilities here:

1/ Handling the custody of secrets by the company. The attackers first attacked and accessed a former Ledger employee with official Ledger account secrets. This is where secrets were mismanaged since the actual company secrets should never be in the hands of former employees.

2/ The attack could occur on an actual employee so they should employ ways to be protected against this kind of attack.

3/ The use of CDNs should have security measures in place. This is one of the most common attacks nowadays.
