Reminds me of that time when state actors wanted to spread the Stuxnet worm into an air gapped nucleair facility in Iran, and basically hijacked the whole USB supply chain and put the worm in there.

When enough resources / money is involved, these things are to be expected.

That's not what happened. Companies that did maintenance and had physical access to the facility were targeted, which then pushed the worm on to the laptops and flash drives they would take with them into the air gapped facility.
