CSET Georgetown 2 months ago 25 ● 13 sources

Sam Bresnick argued that the Trump administration’s push to promote AI while boosting semiconductor exports and managing national security constraints could undermine U.S. competitiveness with China. He highlights the contradiction between seeking massive sales volumes and trying to outpace China in AI as a key problem.

North Korean Hackers Behind Open Source Supply Chain Attacks

Amazon Web Services 2 months ago 45

Amazon's threat intelligence team linked a North Korean threat actor (SAPPHIRE SLEET) to compromises of popular NPM JavaScript libraries including axios, debug, chalk, and typo-crypto. The actor used social engineering to gain maintainer access and published malicious updates; the axios package alone has over 100 million weekly downloads, meaning the compromise affected numerous downstream environments simultaneously. Attackers are evolving techniques to split malicious behavior across multiple packages, accumulate trust over months, use stronger cryptography, and deploy payloads that avoid sandbox detection, while generative AI is enabling them to produce convincing code at scale.
