Malicious packages mitmproxy2 and mitmproxy-iframe have been removed from the PyPI directory

The author of mitmproxy, a tool for analyzing HTTP/HTTPS traffic, has noticed a fork of their project appearing in the Python package catalog PyPI (Python Package Index). The fork was distributed under a similar name mitmproxy2 and a non-existent version 8.0.1 (the current release of mitmproxy is 7.0.4), hoping that unsuspecting users would perceive the package as a new edition of the main project (type-squatting) and would want to try the new version.

GitHub has blocked SSH keys generated using the keypair library

GitHub has blocked SSH keys of users from Git clients that used the JavaScript library keypair to generate keys. For example, keys from the Git client GitKraken were affected by the block.

The issue has been resolved in keypair versions 1.0.4 and GitKraken 8.0.1. The cause of the vulnerability was the use of faulty key formation processes […]
