By Matt Kapko

AI Summary

A variant of Mini Shai-Hulud, self-replicating malware attributed to threat group TeamPCP, compromised 440 packages across multiple registries in under four hours in what researchers are calling a massive supply-chain attack. The speed and scale of propagation underscore the threat of self-replicating worms in open-source ecosystems. Developers using affected packages should verify integrity and check for unauthorized code injections.
