Just when we thought we were safe in our development environments, a major supply chain attack has rocked the NPM community! 15 widely-used Gluestack packages, racking up over 960,000 weekly downloads, were compromised to secretly include a remote access trojan (RAT). This incident is a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities lurking in our dependencies and highlights the crucial need for vigilant package management and security practices. As network engineers, we must advocate for tighter security protocols and educate our teams about the importance of scrutinizing third-party code. Let's work together to enhance our defenses and safeguard our projects! #SupplyChainSecurity #NPM #CyberSecurity #NetworkEngineering #MalwareAwareness
