Threat Score
Researchers uncovered a "Revival Hijack" attack on PyPI where threat actors register names of deleted Python packages to push malicious updates; JFrog found >22,000 packages at risk, observed an active trojanized package (pingdomv3) targeting CI/CD, and mitigated some risk by reserving popular deleted names while recommending package pinning, integrity checks, and ownership/activity monitoring.
