A recent supply chain attack on the popular Axios npm package has been attributed to a North Korean threat activity cluster, known as UNC1069, by Google.
According to John Hultquist, chief analyst at Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), the attack is believed to be the work of a suspected North Korean threat actor.
The Axios npm package is a widely used JavaScript library, and its compromise has significant implications for the security of the software supply chain.
Google’s attribution of the attack to UNC1069 highlights the growing threat of state-sponsored cyber attacks on the software supply chain, and the need for increased vigilance and security measures to prevent such attacks.
The attack on Axios is a reminder that even popular and widely used software packages can be vulnerable to supply chain attacks, and that developers and users must be aware of the potential risks and take steps to mitigate them.
