Developers Beware: Slopsquatting & Vibe Coding Can Increase Risk of AI-Powered Attacks

Security researchers and developers are raising alarms over “slopsquatting,” a new form of supply chain attack that leverages AI-generated misinformation commonly known as hallucinations. As developers increasingly rely on coding tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek, attackers are exploiting AI’s tendency to invent software packages, tricking users into downloading malicious content. What is slopsquatting? The term slopsquatting was originally coined by Seth Larson, a developer with the Python Software Foundation, and later popularized by…

Embracing the Quantum Era: Navigating the Quantum Shift With PQC

The evolution of computing has always involved significant technological advancements. The latest advancements are a giant leap into quantum computing era. Early computers, like the ENIAC, were large and relied on vacuum tubes for basic calculations. The invention of transistors and integrated circuits in the mid-20th century led to smaller, more efficient computers. The development of microprocessors in the 1970s enabled the creation of personal computers, making technology accessible to the public. Over the decades,…
