By [email protected] (The Hacker News)
AI Summary
The Australian Federal Police charged Louis Michael Gaebler (23) and Ruben Ian Thomson (21) with a combined 14 offences for their roles in TeamPCP, the cybercrime group behind the March 2026 supply-chain compromise of Trivy, Checkmarx KICS, and LiteLLM. Both appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on August 27; private researchers traced one suspect through leaked passwords and a decade-old gaming profile. This arrest is significant as TeamPCP is described as responsible for the longest-running software supply-chain attack spree on record, directly threatening open-source security tooling used widely by defenders.
