Open source packages published on the npm and PyPI repositories were laced with code that stole wallet credentials from dYdX developers and backend systems and, in some cases, backdoored devices, researchers said. “Every application using the compromised npm versions is at risk ….” the researchers, from security firm Socket, said Friday. “Direct impact includes complete wallet compromise and irreversible cryptocurrency theft. The attack scope includes all applications depending on the compromised versions and both developers testing with real credentials and production end-users.” Packages that were infected were: npm (@dydxprotocol/v4-client-js): 3.4.1 1.22.1 1.15.2 1.0.31 PyPI (dydx-v4-client): Perpetual trading, perpetual targeting dYdX…

They can produce impressive drafts fast but still require constant human course-correction. The Frontier launch came just three days after OpenAI released a new macOS desktop app for Codex, its AI coding tool, which OpenAI executives described as a “command center for agents.” The Codex app lets developers run multiple agent threads in parallel, each working on an isolated copy of a codebase…
