GitHub updates security incident investigation: An employee's device was compromised, involving a contaminated VS Code extension

GitHub has updated the details of the investigation into the unauthorized access incident of its internal repositories: GitHub detected and contained an incident yesterday involving an employee's device being compromised, which involved a maliciously implanted VS Code extension. GitHub removed the malicious extension, isolated the affected terminals, and immediately initiated an incident response. Current assessments show that only GitHub's internal repositories experienced data exfiltration, and the approximately 3,800 repositories claimed by the attackers are roughly consistent with the investigation results. GitHub has prioritized rotating critical credentials, is analyzing logs, verifying credential rotations, and monitoring subsequent activities, with a complete report to be released after the investigation is concluded.Additionally, Slow Mist's Chief Information Security Officer 23pds commented on this incident, stating: "By analyzing leaks from cybercrime forums, hackers may have used Anthropic's Mythos security AI to precisely breach GitHub's defenses and steal information from about 4,000 core internal repositories: including the source code for Copilot, the algorithms for CodeQL, the Actions runtime, and the entire billing system. Further analysis of this code could lead to subsequent attacks, having a profound security impact on the integration of the open-source community."

The auditing platform Code4rena has announced its shutdown, and Immunefi will absorb its bug bounty clients and researchers

According to official news, the smart contract auditing platform Code4rena has announced that it will gradually cease operations, and the Web3 security company Immunefi will take over its clients and security researchers. Code4rena posted on social media that it has made the decision to shut down and stated that all ongoing competitions and bounty activities will be completed as usual, and existing collaborations will be "properly concluded." Immunefi stated that it will assist in migrating Code4rena's bounty projects, reward structures, and researchers to its platform.Code4rena is known for its "competitive auditing" model, where independent researchers compete to find vulnerabilities in smart contracts for rewards. This shutdown comes less than two years after blockchain security company Zellic acquired Code4rena in 2024. Previously, Code4rena raised $6 million from Paradigm in 2023 for auditing incentives and platform expansion.This shutdown comes at a difficult time for DeFi protocols and the security sector. Data from DefiLlama shows that there were over 20 crypto vulnerability incidents in April alone, setting a monthly record. JPMorgan analysts believe that ongoing DeFi security incidents are limiting major institutional investors from entering the market. Meanwhile, the total value locked in DeFi has decreased from about $160 billion in October to approximately $83 billion currently.
