How GitHub untangled itself from the ‘Octopus’ malware that infected 26 software projects

For GitHub, not all reports about malicious software on its platform are of equal importance. The company behind the popular software repository, where developers often share code rather than building it from scratch, revealed this week that attackers were trying to exploit the open-source nature of the site to distribute malware. A hacking tool was designed to spread through software projects, then leave a “backdoor” that could offer hackers persistent access to the software. By infiltrating open-source software, hackers could have given themselves a foothold in code that was later included in corporate apps or websites. Open-source websites continue to represent valuable targets for hackers hoping that technology companies will adopt compromised tools to build their own software. (GitHub claims the site has tens of millions of users.) In this case, the malicious code — which spread to 26 different GitHub projects — is an example of the potentially insidious nature of open-source supply chain compromises. Dubbed…
