Open source software projects are facing increased threats with multiple organizations reporting targeted sabotage attempts. The OpenSSF and OpenJS Foundations have issued alerts following a credible takeover attempt on the OpenJS Foundation, which is suspected to be part of a series of xz-style attacks on software maintainers. This pattern of attacks suggests that the recent incident involving XZ Utils, described as "likely not an isolated incident," may not be an isolated event, raising concerns about the security of widely used software programs.
