LiteLLM is a gateway library providing access to a number of large language models (LLMs); it is popular and widely used. On March 24, the word went out that the version of LiteLLM found in the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository had been compromised with information-stealing malware and downloaded thousands of times, sparking concern across the net. This may look like just another supply-chain attack — and it is — but the way it came about reveals just how many weak links there are in the software supply chains that we all depend on. |

A number of projects have been struggling with the question of which submissions created by large language models (LLMs), if any, should be accepted into their code base. This discussion has been further muddied by efforts to use LLM-driven reimplemention as a way to remove copyleft restrictions from a body of existing code, as recently happened with the Python chardet module. In this context, an attempt to introduce an LLM-generated implementation of the Linux ext4 filesystem into OpenBSD was always going to create some fireworks, but that project has its own, clearly defined reasons for looking askance at such submissions. |

The keynote for Sun Security Con 2026 (SunSecCon) was given by Farzan Karimi on how incident handling can go awry because of a lack of collaboration between the "good guys"—which stands in contrast to how attackers collaboratively operate. He provided some "war stories" where security incident handling had benefited from collaboration and others where it was hampered by its lack. SunSecCon was held in conjunction with SCALE 23x in Pasadena in early March. |
