A malicious npm package posing as a WhatsApp API library was found harvesting login tokens, messages, and contacts from developers, demonstrating a sophisticated supply chain attack that can persistently link attacker devices to compromised WhatsApp accounts.
Cybercriminals are abusing fake OSINT GitHub repos to distribute PyStoreRAT, a JavaScript-based RAT that delivers diverse malware modules through deceptive open-source tools.
A critical vulnerability known as React2Shell allows unauthenticated attackers to achieve full remote code execution on React and Next.js servers. This flaw affects default RSC implementations and requires immediate patching to prevent severe compromise across modern web infrastructures.
SilentButDeadly is an open-source Windows tool that neutralizes EDR and AV visibility by cutting their cloud communications with Windows Filtering Platform filters instead of killing the agents. This article unpacks how SilentButDeadly discovers security processes, applies process-specific network blocks, disrupts services, and what defenders should monitor to detect and withstand similar EDR neutralization techniques.
Sprout is a Rust-based UEFI bootloader that pursues sub-second startup and data-driven policy. It reduces drift, speeds rollbacks, and clarifies failure modes. Secure-boot enablement is underway; teams should pilot now, prepare key management, and align firmware updates for a smooth transition to verified and measured boot.
A worm-like spam campaign flooded npm with tens of thousands of fake packages, polluting search results and straining CI/CD. Consequently, treat registries as hostile input. Enforce allowlists, verify npm provenance with Sigstore, disable lifecycle scripts by default, and promote dependencies through SLSA-aligned stages to cut risk.
A malicious npm package named “@acitons/artifact” impersonates @actions/artifact, hijacks GitHub Actions tokens via postinstall scripts, and attempts to publish artifacts as GitHub showcasing a precise software supply chain attack.
GlassWorm is the first known self-propagating worm targeting developer environments by infecting VS Code extensions with hidden Unicode payloads. Once installed, it steals credentials from NPM, GitHub and Git, and upgrades machines into proxy nodes and part of a distributed criminal infrastructure. It uses a blockchain-based command and control mechanism and auto-updates to spread across the developer ecosystem. In this article, we dissect how GlassWorm works, what makes it a paradigm shift in supply-chain attacks, and what organisations must do to detect and contain it before their dev workstations become weaponised.
Cybersecurity researchers uncovered a North Korean operation that targets software developers by hiding malicious code inside public repositories.
The campaign, linked to Lazarus Group, uses fake developer tools and trojanized libraries to infiltrate development environments worldwide.
Hackers breached Red Hat and GitHub in coordinated attacks and stole customer data, underscoring risks even in widely trusted development platforms.
