A single compromised account pushed malicious code to 42 repos across Microsoft and Azure GitHub orgs in under an hour. If you trust code because of who published it, that trust is now a liability.
A self-propagating worm is using a blind spot in npm's native build system to execute code the moment you install a package. No install scripts. No warnings. Just binding.gyp.
The token-checking campaign we warned about two weeks ago has entered phase two. Attackers are mass-cloning private repositories using stolen PATs. Your source code is walking out the door.
7 waves. 170+ packages. VS Code extensions. Jenkins plugins. A self-propagating worm. And they breached GitHub itself. Here's the full timeline of the most prolific supply chain campaign of 2026.

Microsoft's official Durable Task Python SDK was hijacked on PyPI with a credential stealer, a Linux file wiper, and worm logic that spreads using your own cloud keys. No CVE was assigned. Most scanners missed it.
An attacker registered a co-maintainer's expired email domain, reset the npm password, and published a credential stealer that exfiltrates over DNS. No hack required. Just a $12 domain registration.
The Checkmarx Jenkins plugin, installed to find vulnerabilities in your code, was itself compromised with an infostealer. CVE-2026-33634. CVSS 9.4. Every secret in your CI/CD pipeline was exfiltrated.
30-40% of WordPress sites are running plugins with known vulnerabilities. A supply chain attack just backdoored 400,000 sites through trusted plugin updates. If you run WordPress, read this.
An attacker posted a comment on a pull request. Twelve hours later, every data engineer running elementary-data 0.23.3 was exfiltrating their warehouse credentials to a stranger. Your CI/CD pipeline is a factory floor with no locks on the doors.
An infostealer at a third-party AI company led to Vercel customer secrets being exposed. The attack chain: AI tool employee gets malware, attacker pivots to Vercel, customer API keys and DB credentials decrypted. Two months undetected.
