A virtual infrastructure that interconnects 5.4 billion people around the world doesn’t happen by accident. At the moment it takes over 14,700 people, heavily driven by our membership, to incubate ideas, recommend practices, and ultimately define the standards that enable these interconnections. In this month’s blog post, I reflect on the power of this global effort and share a few considerations about the future and our ongoing ability to serve the public interest. w3.org/blog/2024/needs-of-a-me…

#blog "25th work anniversary"

25 January 1999 was my first day at W3C. I was 23 years old when I started. I've now spent more than half my life at that. I regret nothing because I find the work I do really interesting, important, meaningful; and I don't tire of it because I feel like there's renewal every now and then. I've held many positions, worn many hats, learned a lot of things and I work with incredibly smart and dedicated people.

GitHub is struggling to contain an ongoing attack that’s flooding the site with millions of code repositories. These repositories contain obfuscated malware that steals passwords and cryptocurrency from developer devices, researchers said.

The malicious repositories are clones of legitimate ones, making them hard to distinguish to the casual eye. An unknown party has automated a process that forks legitimate repositories, meaning the source code is copied so developers can use it in an independent project that builds on the original one. The result is millions of forks with names identical to the original one that add a payload that’s wrapped under seven layers of obfuscation. To make matters worse, some people, unaware of the malice of these imitators, are forking the forks, which adds to the flood.

“Most of the forked repos are quickly removed by GitHub, which identifies the automation,” Matan Giladi and Gil David, researchers at security firm Apiiro, wrote Wednesday. “However, the automation detection seems to miss many repos, and the ones that were uploaded manually survive. Because the whole attack chain seems to be mostly automated on a large scale, the 1% that survive still amount to thousands of malicious repos.”

If you are using the polyfill.io service for your website, you may want to reconsider. This was an amazing product, but the last maintainer sold the project and the domain to a China-based company without warning, and the domain is now pointing to a chinese IP running unknown code.
