A large-scale npm supply chain attack compromised over 90 versions of @redhat-cloud-services packages, silently infecting CI/CD environments and developer systems. The malicious code steals credentials from GitHub, cloud platforms, and local machines, then spreads like a worm by republishing trusted packages. Discover how the attack works, what data is at risk, and the steps you can take to protect your organization.
