Hackers compromised the Telnyx Python SDK on PyPI and hid malware inside .wav sound files - disguised as audio to bypass security scanners. Versions 4.87.1 and 4.87.2 were poisoned - just importing the package triggers the attack. It grabs SSH keys, cloud credentials, and can hijack Kubernetes clusters. The malicious versions were live for about 6 hours before PyPI quarantined them.
One group, four major compromises, nine days. TeamPCP started by backdooring Aqua Security's Trivy vulnerability scanner on March 19 - then used the stolen CI/CD credentials to poison LiteLLM, Checkmarx tools, and Telnyx one after another. Each compromised tool handed them the keys to the next target. They've now partnered with the Vect ransomware gang to turn stolen access into extortion.
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.
A new phishing campaign is hijacking TikTok for Business accounts using adversary-in-the-middle (AITM) reverse proxy pages - meaning it captures credentials, session cookies, and MFA codes in real time. Victims land on cloned TikTok or Google Careers pages after clicking links that redirect through legitimate Google Storage URLs. The real kicker: most users log in via Google SSO, so one compromise gives attackers both TikTok and Google accounts.
A government-grade iPhone hacking toolkit called DarkSword was leaked on GitHub on March 23 - and researchers say it's trivially easy to use. Written entirely in HTML and JavaScript, anyone can host it and hack iPhones running iOS 18.4 through 18.7.1. It chains six vulnerabilities including three zero-days for full device takeover, stealing messages, location data, and crypto wallets. Roughly a quarter of all iPhones remain on vulnerable versions.
