The OpenSourceMalware Show
When you think about malware, you probably envision phishing emails or sketchy websites. But malicious open source - targeting software developers and their build systems - is becoming a top way that threat actors deliver malware. Just one 'npm install' can trigger payloads that steal information and credentials. Software supply chain attacks by state actors, ransomware groups, and freelancers are happening every day.
Hosted by Jenn Gile and Paul McCarty (co-founders of OpenSourceMalware), this podcast explores the latest trends and attacks, and helps defenders understand the tactics needed to prevent their orgs from being the next target.
OpenSourceMalware provides community-driven threat intelligence on malicious open source assets including packages, domains, IP addresses, crypto wallets, and more.
