Cybersecurity researchers have flagged yet another evolution of the supply chain attack linked to the Mini Shai-Hulud, Miasma, and Hades malware family that has compromised a new set of npm packages, even as it has propagated to the Go ecosystem. "The latest activity includes malicious npm releases affecting LeoPlatform and RStreams packages, GitHub Actions workflow abuse, and a related Go module compromise involving the Verana Blockchain project," Socket said . The end goal of the campaign, as before, is to harvest developer or maintainer credentials and weaponize the stolen data to spread across package registries, repositories, and trusted developer workflows. The list of affected packages is below - hexo-deployer-wrangler@1.0.4 hexo-shoka-swiper@0.1.10 leo-auth@4.0.6 leo-aws@2.0.4 leo-cache@1.0.2 leo-cdk-lib@0.0.2 leo-cli@3.0.3 leo-config@1.1.1 leo-connector-elasticsearch@2.0.6 leo-connector-mongo@3.0.8 leo-connector-mysql@3.0.3 ...

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new botnet that customers can rent access to conduct distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against targets of interest. The ShadowV2 botnet, according to Darktrace, predominantly targets misconfigured Docker containers on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud servers to deploy a Go-based malware that turns infected systems into attack nodes and co-opt them into a larger DDoS botnet. The cybersecurity company said it detected the malware targeting its honeypots on June 24, 2025. "At the center of this campaign is a Python-based command-and-control (C2) framework hosted on GitHub Codespaces," security researcher Nathaniel Bill said in a report shared with The Hacker News. "What sets this campaign apart is the sophistication of its attack toolkit. The threat actors employ advanced methods such as HTTP/2 Rapid Reset , a Cloudflare under attack mode ( UAM ) bypass, and large-scale HTTP floods, demonstrating a capabi...
