#Glassworm #botnet disrupted after resilient C2 infrastructure takedown

The Glassworm botnet targeting developers in software supply-chain attacks has been disrupted after researchers took down its resilient command-and-control infrastructure relying on Solana blockchain transactions and the BitTorrent DHT network.
Glassworm smantellato: CrowdStrike abbatte la botnet che prendeva di mira gli sviluppatori attraverso npm, PyPI e GitHub
Il 26 maggio 2026, CrowdStrike, Google e Shadowserver Foundation hanno eseguito un takedown coordinato di Glassworm, botnet attivo da oltre un anno che infettava sviluppatori attraverso estensioni VSCode trojanizzate, pacchetti npm/Python malevoli e repository GitHub avvelenati. Il C2 sfruttava blockchain Solana, BitTorrent DHT e Google Calendar come canali di resilienza.📢 Démantèlement du botnet Glassworm ciblant les développeurs open source via la supply chain
