Aikido Security has completed a $70 million acquisition of Root to introduce automated backporting of security patches. The move aims to remediate critical vulnerabilities in existing open source dependencies without forcing developers to undergo complex version upgrades.

Threat actors have successfully compromised dozens of Microsoft-owned repositories to deploy the Miasma malware via supply-chain attacks. The malware is designed to steal cloud credentials and spread laterally through developer environments by exploiting AI coding agents.

More than 30 Red Hat npm packages were compromised in a supply-chain attack using the Miasma malware to steal developer credentials. The attack was executed via a compromised GitHub account and targeted various cloud and infrastructure secrets.
