The Python Package Index now rejects new files published to releases older than 14 days. This mitigation prevents long-stable releases from being poisoned in case publishing tokens or workflows of PyPI projects are compromised.

Huge thanks to @npub14wa…j0zw for 10+ years of keeping #PyPI up and running! PyPI serves 800K+ users at ~100K requests/sec. With a small team behind the service, that kind of scale is only possible because of infrastructure partners who invest in the sustainability of the #Python ecosystem.

A campaign targeted GitHub Actions to steal PyPI tokens—PyPI wasn’t compromised and no PyPI packages were published by the attackers. Stay safe: review your tokens, rotate any exposed ones, and use short-lived, scoped GitHub Actions tokens. Details:

🚨 There is a new ongoing phishing campaign against PyPI users. This campaign uses the same tactics as the previous campaign targeting PyPI users, but with a new domain.

PyPI now checks for expired domains to prevent domain resurrection attacks, a type of supply-chain attack where someone buys an expired domain and uses it to take over #PyPI accounts through password resets. #Python #OpenSource #SupplyChain #Security
