The Vercel Breach That Started with a Roblox Cheat — An employee of an AI tool provider used by a Vercel employee was compromised by malware (bundled with a Roblox cheat!) and the attacker used that foothold, by way of Google Workspace, to reach a subset of Vercel customers’ environment variables.

axios Package Compromised; Malicious Versions Added a Trojan Dependency — Axios is an HTTP library that gets 100M+ downloads a week, largely due to its legacy popularity. An attacker took advantage of that to roll out a version with a malicious dependency including a remote access trojan (though Axios' codebase itself was fine). This is big, as even if you don’t use Axios, your dependencies might. Here's how to see if you're affected.
