Risky Bulletin: Shai-Hulud goes open-source

Source code for the Shai-Hulud worm was released online. A dark web market administrator faced charges following an operational security failure. Separately, France is investigating an Israeli disinformation firm, and the Composer project addressed a GitHub token leak.

Why it matters: Security teams should monitor for Shai-Hulud variants now that code is public; incident responders tracking dark web activity should follow the administrator charges; organizations using Composer need to rotate any exposed tokens immediately.
