The JFrog Security research team continuously monitors popular open source software (OSS) repositories with our automated tooling, and reports any vulnerabilities or malicious packages discovered to repository maintainers and the wider community. Most recently we disclosed 11 malicious packages in the PyPI repository, a discovery that shows attacks are getting more sophisticated in their approach.

With all the focus on public cloud infrastructures, it’s easy to believe that there is no room for on-premises deployments of infrastructure. However, on-prem deployments are not likely to completely go away because often it’s just the right thing to do.

As developers, we’re passionate about creating and delivering high-quality software to our end-users and customers. Simply knowing that our software was shipped, deployed, and is being used is a great achievement. And it looks like we did a good job. Everything around us in our lives depends on high-quality software. Software needs to run for us to get water, energy, electricity, transportation, food, etc. Developers have a huge responsibility to keep this software updated and running efficiently.
