About this episode

The episode discusses the supply chain attack on the axios NPM package and its implications.

Dennis and Lindsey dig into what we know do far about the supply chain attack on the axios NPM package, including how the attacker gained access to the maintainer's account, the window of exposure for the malicious packages, the behavior of the RAT that's installed on victims' machines, and what the downstream effects may be.
