FEATURED ARTICLE
CISA is releasing this Alert to provide guidance in response to a widespread software supply chain compromise involving the world’s largest JavaScript registry, npmjs.com. A self-replicating worm—publicly known as “Shai-Hulud”—has compromised over 500 packages. (CISA)
EXPERT TAKE
“The recent CISA alert highlights a widespread supply chain compromise affecting the npm ecosystem. Attackers are using a self-replicating worm to steal developer credentials and distribute malicious packages. Given GitHub’s large community of over 150 million developers and more than 420 million repositories, this ecosystem is a significant target for threat actors. It is important for organizations to secure their software supply chains by rotating credentials, implementing phishing-resistant MFA, auditing dependencies, and tightening GitHub configurations.”

Researchers in Google’s Threat Intelligence Group and Mandiant unit have analyzed a recent Chinese cyberespionage campaign where the hackers have managed to dwell in compromised networks for hundreds of days to obtain valuable information. (SecurityWeek)
Microsoft Threat Intelligence recently detected and blocked a credential phishing campaign that likely used AI-generated code to obfuscate its payload and evade traditional defenses. Appearing to be aided by a large language model (LLM), the activity obfuscated its behavior within an SVG file, leveraging business terminology and a synthetic structure to disguise its malicious intent. In analyzing the malicious file, Microsoft Security Copilot assessed that the code was “not something a human would typically write from scratch due to its complexity, verbosity, and lack of practical utility.” (Microsoft)
