Iran mediators make last-ditch push for 45-day ceasefire This is the only chance to prevent a dramatic escalation in the war ahead of President Trump's deadline ending Tuesday.

Пишут, что статья #Axios о том, что Иран и США обсуждают возможность объявить прекращение огня на полтора месяца является дезинформацией, запущенная Уиткоффом (который часто становится инсайдером Axios), чтобы немного успокоить рынки.

UNC1069 Uses Social Engineering to Hijack Axios npm Package via Maintainer   A sophisticated social engineering operation by UNC1069 has led to the compromise of the widely used Axios npm package, raising serious concerns across the JavaScript ecosystem. The attack targeted a member of the Axios project’s maintainer team by masquerading as a legitimate Apache Software Foundation representative, using forged email domains and a fake Jira‑style ticket management system to drive the victim into installing a malicious version of the Axios GitHub Assistant browser extension.  Once installed, the extension granted UNC1069 broad access to the maintainer’s GitHub account, enabling them to introduce a malicious update to the Axios package and push the compromised code to npm. The attack chain highlights how trusted communication channels—such as seemingly official emails and project‑related ticketing systems—can be weaponized to bypass technical safeguards. By impersonating Apache staff and leveraging the perceived legitimacy of the GitHub Assistant tool, the threat actors manipulated the maintainer into unintentionally installing a malicious browser extension.  The extension then captured the maintainer’s GitHub cookies and session tokens, which allowed UNC1069 to log in, survey the project, and ultimately publish a malicious version of Axios. This incident underscores that even projects with strong code‑review practices are vulnerable when human‑factor controls and identity‑verification steps are overlooked. Although the malicious Axios package was not directly downloaded more than a handful of times, the episode triggered a sharp spike in removals of older Axios releases from the npm registry.  This suggests that many developers likely removed the package from projects preemptively to mitigate potential supply‑chain exposure. The fact that the malicious package was quickly removed after detection indicates that npm’s monitoring and incident‑response mechanisms responded promptly; however, the broader damage lies in the erosion of trust and the disruption to downstream projects that depend on Axios. Maintainers and organizations are now forced to revisit their authentication workflows and rethink how they verify communications from partners or foundation staff. A xios has since published a security update and clarified that the malicious package was an isolated, short‑lived incident in the npm registry. The project’s team has emphasized the importance of using multi‑factor authentication, hardening account security, and limiting third‑party extension access to critical accounts. Security teams are also being advised to audit any browser extensions granted to corporate or critical‑project accounts and to treat unsolicited tools or utilities—especially those tied to “official” infrastructure—as potential red flags. Moving forward, the Axios team is expected to tighten collaboration rules with foundations and external organizations to reduce the risk of similar impersonation‑driven attacks.  The UNC1069‑Axios incident serves as a stark reminder that software supply‑chain security is only as strong as its weakest human link. Social engineering continues to be a highly effective vector for attackers, especially when paired with technical infrastructure that appears legitimate. For developers and organizations, this event reinforces the need for layered defenses: robust technical safeguards, strict identity‑verification protocols, and continuous security awareness training. As open‑source projects become increasingly central to modern software stacks, protecting maintainers’ accounts and communication channels must be treated with the same urgency as protecting the code itself.
