One of the most trusted platforms in software development got breached — and it started with a plugin millions of developers have installed.
This is not a theoretical risk. This happened.
In this video, we break down exactly how the GitHub hack unfolded, what the attackers were after, and why this kind of supply chain attack is the scariest threat in tech right now.
What we cover:
✔ How a malicious plugin became the entry point to one of the world's biggest code repositories
✔ Why supply chain attacks are so hard to defend against
✔ What GitHub and Microsoft are doing (and not doing) in response
✔ How to check if YOUR tools are compromised
✔ What this means for AI, open source, and the future of software security
If you use VS Code, GitHub Actions, or any third-party dev tools — you need to watch this.
