NPM just got hit by another supply chain mess. Attackers uploaded 126 credential-stealing packages that used “Remote Dynamic Dependencies” to quietly fetch malware from untrusted sites. Over 86,000 downloads later, the campaign (dubbed PhantomRaven) shows how blind traditional scanning still is to dynamic or AI-generated code patterns. What makes this dangerous isn’t just the malicious code, it’s the infrastructure gap. Dependencies downloaded “fresh” on install mean attackers can serve clean code to researchers and poison code to production networks. That’s targeted compromise at scale.

@ilarioq no, attenzione: in questo caso stiamo parlando proprio di hacker.
L'organizzazione reclutava veri e propri hacker conosciuti e apprezzati nel mondo dell'hacking informatico.
Semmai il problema è che il titolo fa pensare che fossero gli hacker a guidare le danze, mentre questi erano solo esecutori spesso tenuti all'oscuro della strategia generale e che, come semplici sicari, lavoravano alla mercé dei soliti maneggioni di alta fascia

Imagine the bosses, at the highest levels of any organization you worked at; and think about how much they knew about the technical details of what goes on in the trenches?
This is by design, when you open up a business textbook (which ive had to do in the past); they prattle on endlessly about how managers increase value to a company despite not knowing the details of technical or skilled work.
SO why the hell does the press act like CEOs CAN be subject-matter experts? Why do we call them in to get their opinion on whatever the current torment nexus is?

Russia is facing a potential civil war due to rising political, social and economic tensions, according to a Putin adviser. The warning was issued by Alexander Kharichev, the head of the Presidential Directorate for Monitoring and Analysing Social Processes.Russians have been struggling with rising costs as inflation remains stubbornly high, with food prices in particular surging well above the average rate.
