The DPRK Developer on Your Payroll Runs Over a KVM Dongle and an RMM Tool. The Interview Never Caught It; Your Endpoint and Connection Logs Can

Eight US-based ‘laptop farmers’ sentenced in five months, across cases spanning more than 100 US companies in one prosecution and nearly 70 in others: the North Korean IT worker is already on payroll, and what resolves it is correlating unauthorized remote-access tooling with the connection and endpoint telemetry it throws off — not the hiring interview, and not sign-in geography alone.

A Fork PR Poisoned the pnpm Cache Your Release Workflow Trusted, and GitHub’s Audit Log Never Logged the Write

The TanStack compromise published 84 poisoned npm versions across 42 packages by writing a cache entry into the default-branch scope from an untrusted fork PR. GitHub has since made that write path read-only for low-trust triggers — but cache creation still never touches the audit log, so post-hoc detection has to live on the runner and in cache-inventory differencing instead.

Invisible Unicode Tags Smuggle Instructions Past Your LLM Filter. The Detection Is a Byte Pattern on the Raw Stream

A block of Unicode characters that renders as nothing can carry a full paragraph of instructions into your LLM, and your content filter can miss it because it inspects a sanitized or transformed representation while the model receives the original code points. Here is where the detection actually has to live, and what you spend the first week of tuning on.
