I wrote this post after analyzing several cases of malicious open-source packages. Many teams rely on SCA tools, dependency updates, or popularity as a proxy for trust — but these approaches often fail. The article breaks down what doesn’t actually work, why, and what better practices might help instead.
I’d love to hear how others here are handling this problem in their supply chains or CI/CD setups.
