Encrypted malware in. New detection rules out. Nobody in between. Tom Abai at @TenableSecurity built the "Malware Analyst" skill: it writes its own deobfuscator, decodes the sample, and writes the Sigma and YARA rules itself. Free on the #CyberAgentsExchange: spr.ly/6016BHpiP4

With the launch of the @CyberAgentEx . I am excited to be Founding Contributor PR# 38. I built Malware Analyst — static-only analysis. Deobfuscate, extract IOCs, write variant-agnostic detection signatures. The file never runs. Free and open source: exchange.tenable.com/skills/…

intentionally published malware (vs. compromising a legit package) is not breaking. It’s just an ordinary day. AI just means we see more diverse payloads.
🚨 BREAKING: Active supply chain attack across npm, PyPI, and Crates.​io. Socket detected TrapDoor, a crypto stealer campaign hitting 34 malicious packages and 384 versions and artifacts, with attackers repeatedly pushing new releases across ecosystems. TrapDoor targets #crypto, #DeFi, AI, and security developers, stealing wallets, SSH keys, cloud credentials, GitHub tokens, browser data, env vars, and API keys. Socket detected releases with a median detection time of 5 minutes, 27 seconds. The fastest detection occurred 58 seconds after publication.

איזה כיף לראות שאנשים מתחילים להשתמש בכלי חדש שבנית!! 🤩🤩 @abai_tom
קבלו 3 עדכונים משוגעים ל-Rival כלי יצירת הגרפים (ועל הדרך את אנבידיה VS אינטל - שימו רמקולים) 1. סאונד 🎵- עכשיו אפשר להוסיף מוזיקה שתלווה את הגרפים! 2. אפקט💥 התנגשות: יישויות שמחליפות מקום מתנגשות ויוצרות אפקט פיצוץ! 3. ציר Y דינאמי: מעכשיו ציר Y יכול להתארך או להתקצר לפי מצב היישות הקיצונית ביותר והיחס ביניהם. זמין לכולם - צרו את הגרף המשוגע שלכם פה (הכלי מאפשר הורדה כקובץ MP4 או HTML כולל הנגן) moradstern.com/rival-charts

We found Wave 5 of PhantomRave on NPM. 34 malicious npm packages, a new C2 at pack[.]nppacks[.]com, and a three-stage payload chain that runs silently the moment you do npm install. The server is still live. And the packages are still on NPM. #NPM #PHANTORAVE

We're seeing some early signs that TeamPCP is preparing another attack against a project called espnet: github.com/Tiamat-Tech/espne… This time, they're also using VSCode tasks and Claude session hooks. It also as a node fallback option when Bun can't be installed. Clearly targeting LLM environments.

Update: Socket confirmed the Intercom compromise began with a local install of pyannote-audio, which pulled in compromised PyPI lightning as a transitive dependency. 🤯 That single install kicked off a chain of compromises: PyPI lightning → npm intercom-client → Packagist intercom/intercom-php One malicious dependency worming its way across three ecosystems.
🚨 BREAKING: Mini Shai-Hulud has spread to Packagist. We detected a malicious intercom/[email protected] package artifact tied to this campaign. The compromised #PHP package used Composer plugin execution to run during install/update, download Bun, and launch an obfuscated router_runtime.js credential-stealing payload. It targeted GitHub, npm, SSH, cloud, Kubernetes, Vault, Docker, .env files, and more. We reported it to @packagist, which removed the malicious version.

What happened to `@cap-js/sqlite` on npm? 2.2.2 was released with some nasty malware, and immediately deprecated. This looks very sus.
