Supply Chain Security: A Growing Concern

CI/CD pipelines are under attack.
CI/CD pipelines are under attack.

The recent TeamPCP attacks serve as a stark reminder that software supply chains are prime targets for hackers. Tools like axios and LiteLLM were compromised, showing how easily attackers can exploit trust within the ecosystem.

Developers are urged to fortify their CI/CD pipelines. With breaches leading to credential theft and data exfiltration, the stakes have never been higher.
