The ease of discoverability of these resources in near real time is another challenge. Google solved the problem of locating information on the web 25 years ago through its indexing and PageRank algorithm.

Developers relying on large language models (LLMs) to build code could unwittingly be exposing themselves to a new type of supply chain attack, security experts have warned. “Slopsquatting” was first coined by Python Software Foundation (PSF) developer in residence, Seth Larson, according to cybersecurity vendor Socket. It’s a play on “typosquatting,” a popular tactic used by threat actors for phishing campaigns, where they register slightly misspelled versions of legitimate domains. In this new take, a…
