Summary
A new cyberattack called TrapDoor is targeting software developers by injecting malicious packages into popular open-source registries like npm and PyPI. These fake tools, disguised as helpful crypto and AI utilities, secretly steal wallet keys, cloud credentials, and SSH tokens—often from the same machines where developers store sensitive data. Even worse, some packages trick AI coding assistants into running fake security scans that leak secrets. Security firm Socket has flagged the packages, but attackers used sneaky tactics to sneak in via legitimate contributions. No victims confirmed yet, but this campaign shows how devs holding digital keys are now prime targets—stay vigilant on every install.
