A Team PCP self-spreading worm, Miasma, infected 73 Microsoft GitHub repositories across four accounts and now triggers via AI coding assistants when developers open cloned projects. A former IBM threat-intel executive, William Barlow, alleges IBM was hacked three times by foreign governments (including APT10 from 2013–2016) and concealed it; IBM denies wrongdoing and the claims are unproven. TechCrunch reports attackers hijacked Instagram accounts by persuading Meta's support chatbot to relink accounts to attacker emails, with ongoing reports despite Meta saying it's fixed.
