Recent cybersecurity threats have emerged, focusing on malicious Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VSCode) extensions and compromised npm packages. Developers and the crypto community are particularly at risk as threat actors exploit these tools. The Lazarus Group has evolved its tactics, deploying new malware, including CookiePlus, to target nuclear-related organizations. Additionally, two npm packages, rspack/core and rspack/cli, were found to contain crypto-mining malware, affecting over 445,000 weekly downloads and potentially compromising sensitive cloud credentials. These incidents underline the importance of vigilance in software development environments, where a single wrong download can lead to significant breaches.
