Malware campaign on npm steals AWS, GCP, and Azure cloud keys

An advanced malware campaign on the npm registry steals the very keys that control enterprise cloud infrastructure. Open-source software (OSS) lets enterprise development teams innovate at pace, but this speed also introduces an often poorly governed security risk: the software supply chain. Socket has identified 10 malicious packages on npm, the core repository for the …

The business challenge: When legacy code limits growth

Enterprise competitiveness is defined increasingly by the speed at which organisations can adapt. Yet that adaptability can be constrained by legacy applications; systems that were once assets but now limit scalability and resilience. Application portfolio modernisation has therefore the potential to move from an IT ambition to becoming a priority. Keeping systems running effectively and …

NuGet attack highlights open-source software supply chain risk

An attack on the NuGet package registry shows how advanced open-source software supply chain attacks have become. It shows how attackers can take advantage of developers’ trust and gaps in registry rules to inject malware that steals data directly into business build processes. Security researchers from Socket recently found a live homoglyph typosquat on NuGet …
