## Resource

A new malware campaign called TrapDoor is hitting crypto and AI developers with over 34 poisoned packages designed to steal wallets, SSH keys, cloud creds, and GitHub tokens—targeting tools like MetaMask and Brave while tricking AI assistants like Claude into handing over secrets. Hidden in legit-looking dev packages on npm, PyPI, and Crates, it’s a supply chain attack with an AI twist, even showing signs of AI-assisted deployment. Cybersecurity teams are sounding the alarm—stay vigilant, especially when installing code. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
