Recently I covered three open source supply chain attacks: Trivy, Axios, and the Linux Foundation. I said the pattern was worth watching.
In the last 48 hours, three separate attacks hit three different ecosystems simultaneously: npm, PyPI, and Docker Hub. At the same time, a major breach at one of the most widely used developer platforms in the world is still actively unfolding. The techniques connecting all of it trace directly back to the attacks I covered last time.
This video covers what's happening right now, what it means for your homelab and developer environment, and what you should do about it today.
