Sandworm_Mode is a self-propagating worm spreading through code repositories and software supply chains, targeting AI coding assistants, cloud services, CI/CD pipelines, and major LLM provider credentials. CrowdStrike says the malware blends into noisy development environments, delays actions to evade detection, and may be designed to secure long-term access. #Sandworm_Mode #CrowdStrike #TeamPCP #LLMProviders
Keypoints
