Forget typosquatting; slopsquatting is the software supply chain threat created by AI coding tools
Slopsquatting represents an emerging supply chain threat made possible by AI hallucinations. As developers increasingly rely on AI coding assistants, they unknowingly grant cybercriminals access to their software from day one. Understanding what slopsquatting isSlopsquatting is a new type of supply chain attack that uses large language model (LLM) hallucinations to inject malicious code into development workflows. The term combines "AI slop" and "typosquatting," a deceptive practice where attackers register misspelled or lookalike versions of popular domains to prey on users who enter URLs incorrectly.This novel attack vector exploits LLMs' tendency to generate fictitious software package names, which threat actors can then register and populate with malicious cod [...]
