The Axios supply chain attack we covered on March 31 has now been attributed to UNC1069, a North Korean threat group linked to BlueNoroff that specializes in financially motivated attacks against crypto exchanges and financial institutions. Google's Mandiant confirmed the attackers social-engineered the lead maintainer through a fake video call, deploying a RAT via the compromised npm account. Socket warns this wasn't a one-off - the same actors have compromised accounts spanning some of the most widely depended-upon packages in the npm registry.
Telehealth giant Hims & Hers - nearly $1 billion in annual revenue, millions of subscribers - disclosed that hackers stole customer support tickets from its Zendesk instance between February 4-7. The ShinyHunters extortion gang conducted the breach by compromising Okta SSO credentials through social engineering, then pivoting into the Zendesk platform. Stolen data includes names, contact information, and details from support requests. No medical records or doctor communications were compromised. The company took two months to disclose.
Apple shipped an undocumented security feature in macOS Tahoe 26.4 that directly targets ClickFix attacks - the social engineering technique behind the Infinity Stealer campaign we covered last week. When a user tries to paste a potentially harmful command into Terminal, macOS now intercepts it with a warning before anything executes. The feature only covers Apple's built-in Terminal app, not third-party alternatives like iTerm2. A 'Paste Anyway' option remains for power users.
A new macOS infostealer called Infinity Stealer tricks users through fake Cloudflare CAPTCHA pages - a technique called ClickFix. Victims paste a command into Terminal thinking they're verifying their identity, but it silently installs malware. The payload is compiled with Nuitka - turning Python into native macOS binaries that are much harder for security tools to detect. It steals browser credentials, Keychain data, and crypto wallets.
Thousands of fake Visual Studio Code vulnerability warnings are being posted across GitHub Discussions in automated waves - all from freshly created accounts. The posts use realistic titles like 'Severe Vulnerability - Immediate Update Required' with fabricated CVE IDs to pressure developers into downloading malware from Google Drive links. The payloads fingerprint victims before delivering secondary attacks, acting as a traffic distribution system.
