Heya everyone, I thought I posted this here last night, but apparently I didn't..

I regret to inform you that the Screen Shot Off The Record plugin that we linked to briefly was found to have a key logger and was sending screen shots to unwanted parties.

We are planning a more indepth post in the near future.

Did some malware reversing for the community this week in response to someone attempting to SE a malicious plugin into @pidgin a major open-source project. The project maintainer ( @grimmy) was very quick to respond, pulling security folks in immediately

Additionally, this led to the furtherance of their transparency policy, requiring all code for all plugins to be open-sourced for community review.

Supply Chain Attacks come from all angles, including code you don't compile or distribute, but users may still install and taint the reputation of your application.
