5 June 2024 at 08:00

ReversingLabs researchers recently discovered a malicious, open source package: xFileSyncerx on the Python Package Index (PyPI). The package, with close to 300 registered downloads, contained separate malicious β€œwiper” components. Is it an open source supply chain threat? Kind of.
