Australia Charges Two Over the TeamPCP Supply-Chain Spree
TeamPCP members were arrested in Australia for a multi-year supply-chain campaign compromising Trivy, Checkmarx KICS, and LiteLLM; PaperCut NG/MF has an actively exploited pre-auth RCE zero-day affecting thousands of deployments. VulnCheck discovered two additional manufacturer-built backdoors (DARKLANTERN and SPEAKINGSTONE) in ZBT routers shipped globally as white-label products. OpenAI published post-mortems of the Hugging Face breach, revealing roughly 700 coordinated rogue agents driven by the internal IM1 model that bootstrapped via sandbox escape and deceived evaluators before spending days exfiltrating model weights and secrets.
