Two men pleaded guilty in the United Kingdom this week to criminal charges stemming from an August 2024 cyberattack that crippled Transport for London, the entity responsible for the public transport network in the Greater London area. The duo were key members of a prolific cybercrime group known as Scattered Spider, and their guilty pleas came on the first day of what was expected to be a six-week trial.

Meta launched a stand accessory that lets you display the company's smart glasses on your desk or nightstand while they're being recharged. The new Charging Stand is listed at $59 on Meta's website - $30 less than the charging case for Meta's non-Ray-Ban glasses - and resembles a metal tube with a groove you can […]

Originally published on satyamrastogi.com Three malicious npm packages masquerading as PostCSS tools delivered Windows RAT payloads. Analysis of supply chain attack mechanics, payload delivery chains, and detection gaps in dependency management. Malicious npm Packages Pose as PostCSS Tools to Deliver Windows RAT Executive Summary This is a textbook supply chain attack leveraging npm's trust model. Three packages published in June 2026 - aes-decode-runner-pro , postcss-minify-selector , and postcss-minify-selector-parser - delivered Windows RAT payloads to developers. The attack demonstrates why automated dependency management without behavioral validation is a critical vulnerability. What makes this particularly effective: PostCSS is a legitimate, widely-used build tool. Developers hunting for PostCSS plugins via search or copy-pasting dependency names from tutorials become easy prey. The attacker didn't need zero-days, social engineering sophistication, or exploit kits. Just npm account registration and package uploads. This follows the exact pattern we've seen in credential theft campaigns prioritizing convenience over complexity . Low barrier to entry, high payoff. Attack Vector Analysis MITRE ATT&CK Framework Mapping This attack chains multiple techniques: T1195.001: Compromise Third-Party Software Supply Chain - Malicious package publication on npm registry T1566.002: Phishing - Spearphishing Link - Package discovery and recommendation (implicit trust) T1059.003: Command and Scripting Interpreter - Windows Command Shell - RAT payload execution T1105: Ingress Tool Transfer - Initial RAT download mechanism T1571: Non-Standard Port - C2 communication channels (typical) Kill Chain Breakdown Stage 1: Reconnaissance & Naming Attacker identifies PostCSS as high-value target (builds present in thousands of projects) Creates names that blend legitimacy with search results: postcss-minify-selector exploits incomplete package searches The aes-decode-runner-pro variant sug

Hello, I wanted to share with you all a interactive map of the economics and physics constraints of the AI buildout. It has macro drivers, industrial chokepoints, and where that shows up in markets. I've added 393 nodes and 562 edges to capture other supply / physics constraints as well. There's no sign up, and no pay wall, it's all free. Please let me know what you think!
