Incidents tagged Malicious Code Injection

Attackers executed a supply-chain attack on the open-source library LiteLLM by exploiting stolen credentials to inject malicious code into its PyPI distribution pipeline. This malware actively harvested sensitive information, including API keys and cloud credentials, from affected systems, potentially leading to the compromise of up to 4TB of data from companies like Mercor.

The incident stems from a supply chain attack targeting the open-source LiteLLM project, where malicious code was injected. This compromise led to thousands of organizations, including AI startup Mercor, suffering data breaches and exfiltration of sensitive information.
