North Korean hackers blamed for hijacking popular Axios open source project

Axios software (impacting South Korean infrastructure)

North Korea-linked UNC1069 group breached Axios open-source software via a malicious update released early this week, aiming to steal login details. The software underpins much of the internet's infrastructure, potentially affecting South Korean services. Malicious code was removed after detection.

Google reported the supply chain attack targeting developers connecting apps and services. It posed risks of widespread compromise if not addressed. The incident highlights threats to shared software used in South Korea.
