GitHub, PyPI add time-absed defenses against supply chain attacks

GitHub and PyPI have integrated time-based defenses into Dependabot to mitigate supply chain attacks. The mechanism restricts the window during which compromised dependencies can propagate and cause damage across dependent projects.

Why it matters: Development teams and practitioners managing open source dependencies need to update their dependency strategies to leverage these new protections, which reduce exposure when packages are compromised.
