Lol, the "big news" is an infected VScode extension with 4k users stealing 3k github credentials...

The way I'm reading the article, this is mostly a Github thing:

The malware allows TeamPCP’s hackers to steal credentials (on github) that let them publish malicious versions of those software development tools, too (on github). The cycle repeats, and TeamPCP’s collection of breached networks grows.

Why?

I wonder who made the list of "don't touch these repos, they're propping up our proprietary software sans attribution" for the LLM injectabots to avoid.

I realize that the end game here is SUPPOSED to be "erode all trust in free software" but the ineptitude of those profiting off of proprietary software is such that they WILL fuck this up in such a way that it hurts themselves too, it's just a matter of when.

They like to toot …

Uh, oh!
