Saša Zdjelar of ReversingLabs, explains why SBOM are a good first start, but aren’t enough to deliver secure software.

According to ReversingLabs, the hackers behind the effort are luring developers with fake job offers and instructing them to download PyPI packages with obfuscated malware from GitHub repositories as part of coding tests.

New research from Reversing Labs shows that the Lazarus Group is continuing its campaign of tempting targeting developers with malicious software packages on open-source repositories by posing as employees of the financial services firm Capital One.
