Description
This week on ThreatWire, we look into the evolving landscape of software supplychain attacks. We analyze the leaked Miasma worm toolkit and its use of GitHub as a C2 server, discuss the security implications of NPM v12 disabling install-time lifecycle scripts, and look at the U.S. government’s directive that led Anthropic to disable access to its Fable/Mythos models. Plus, a rapid-fire rundown of the latest BSides news.
