TeamPCP: Open-Source Software Supply Chain Campaign
A joint international operation led by the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the FBI, and the Western Australia Police Force (WAPF) has resulted in the arrest of two key members of the TeamPCP cybercrime group. The group specialized in high-impact supply chain attacks by injecting malicious code into widely utilized open-source software repositories. This technique facilitated large-scale credential theft, successfully exfiltrating over 500,000 user and organizational credentials from a global victim base. The arrests target Ruben Thomson, the alleged group leader, and Louis Gaebler, marking a significant disruption to a major global threat actor responsible for one of the most damaging hacking campaigns of the current year.
