The Hacker News

Attackers in 2025 haven't changed their tactics—they're still exploiting supply chains, phishing, and bypassing official store reviews. What's different is AI has made these attacks more efficient and scalable, allowing smaller teams or individuals to execute sophisticated campaigns. The Shai Hulud NPM campaign and malicious Chrome extensions demonstrate how traditional attack vectors remain effective at scale. Rather than chasing new defense trends, organizations should focus on fundamentals: fixing permissions models, hardening supply chain verification, and implementing phishing-resistant authentication.
