CrowdStrike and Google have successfully taken down the Glassworm botnet, which was being used to target open source software developers in sophisticated supply chain attacks. The botnet infected open source projects with malware, compromising both developers and the organizations using the compromised software.
Background
Supply chain attacks have become increasingly common in recent years, with attackers targeting software developers to compromise downstream users. Open source software is particularly vulnerable as it's widely used but often lacks dedicated security resources.
