The official Italian reseller of WinRar was attacked, and the legit file has been replaced with a ransomware. I contacted them to inform them of the problem. What do you think about the attacks on the supply chain? Are they becoming an increasingly difficult problem to manage?

Yes, last night while I was doing some tests on samples and I needed to download winrar on the windows' sandbox, so I downloaded the exe from their site and as soon as I finished downloading I realized that something was wrong. I did so many tests and scans, it was a ransomware. Sodinokibi is attacking hard in Italy.
