Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a cluster of seven malicious npm packages targeting the Vite frontend tooling ecosystem as part of a software supply chain attack
Five malicious versions of AsyncAPI packages were published to the Node Package Manager (npm) in a supply-chain attack that delivered a remote access trojan with info-stealing capabilities. [...]
AsyncAPI npm packages with 2M weekly downloads were compromised, spreading malware with info-stealing, crypto-theft and RAT capabilities. OX Security researchers disclosed on July 14 that the AsyncAPI npm organization was compromised, with malicious code injected into four packages that together account for over 2 million weekly downloads. The affected versions are @asyncapi/generator 3.3.1, @asyncapi/generator-components 0.7.1, […]
It's been one of those weeks. You expect the usual noise: recycled malware, sloppy attacks, another easy target getting hit. Instead, there's a supply chain attack kit in a public repo, a $5,000-a-month RAT that clones browsers, and research showing AI agents can be tricked into leaking real credentials

Suspected Russian Crime Group Built Resilient Command-and-Control InfrastructureIn a joint operation, CrowdStrike, Google and Shadowserver Foundation disrupted infrastructure used by the Glassworm cybercrime group, cutting off attackers from victims. The group has wielded a remote access Trojan to repeatedly target developers of widely used open-source software.
A previously undocumented Linux implant codenamed Quasar Linux RAT (QLNX) is targeting developers' systems to establish a silent foothold as well as facilitate a broad range of post-compromise functionality, such as credential harvesting, keylogging, file manipulation, clipboard monitoring, and network tunneling
TrendAI™ Research breaks down Quasar Linux (QLNX), a previously undocumented sophisticated Linux RAT with low detection rates. In this blog, we examine a full-featured Linux threat incorporating a rootkit, a PAM backdoor, credential harvesting, and more, revealing how this malware enables stealthy access, persistence, and potential supply-chain attacks.
Expect Fallout After Remote Access Trojan Added to Popular JavaScript NPM PackageA supply-chain attack backdoored versions of Axios, a popular JavaScript library that's present in many different software packages, to distribute a cross-platform, remote access Trojan. Identifying the full fallout from the attack could take some time, experts warned.
Hijacked maintainer account let attackers slip cross-platform trojan into 100M-downloads-a-week Axios Updated One of npm's most widely used HTTP client libraries briefly became a malware delivery vehicle after attackers hijacked a maintainer's account and slipped a remote-access trojan (RAT) into two seemingly legitimate axios releases, in what's being described as "one of the most impactful npm supply chain attacks on record."…
The popular HTTP client known as Axios has suffered a supply chain attack after two newly published versions of the npm package introduced a malicious dependency that delivers a trojan capable of targeting Windows, macOS, and Linux systems
A supply chain attack hit Axios when attackers used stolen npm credentials to publish malicious versions containing a phantom dependency. This triggered a cross-platform RAT during installation and replaced its files with clean decoys, making detection challenging.
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new supply chain attack in which legitimate packages on npm and the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository have been compromised to push malicious versions to facilitate wallet credential theft and remote code execution
A significant supply chain attack hit NPM after 15 popular Gluestack packages with over 950,000 weekly downloads were compromised to include malicious code that acts as a remote access trojan (RAT). [...]
An npm package named 'rand-user-agent' has been compromised in a supply chain attack to inject obfuscated code that activates a remote access trojan (RAT) on the user's system. [...]
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new suspicious package uploaded to the npm package registry that's designed to drop a remote access trojan (RAT) on compromised systems
A malicious package uploaded to the npm registry has been found deploying a sophisticated remote access trojan on compromised Windows machines
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new set of malicious packages published to the NuGet package manager using a lesser-known method for malware deployment
A malicious package hosted on the NuGet package manager for the .NET Framework has been found to deliver a remote access trojan called SeroXen RAT
