A popular Python library just became a backdoor to your entire machine

https://www.xda-developers.com/popular-python-library-backdoor-machine/

It's one of the most popular Python libraries for interacting with large language models [...] It has over 40,000 stars on GitHub, and it's an important dependency in a lot of AI tooling. It's also been compromised on PyPI, and the malicious versions are stealing everything they can find on your machine.

https://disclose.ngo/fr/article/la-reconnaissance-faciale-deployee-a-grande-echelle-sur-les-telephones-des-forces-de-lordre

Un général de gendarmerie, à la tête de l'Office de lutte contre les crimes de haine, exfiltré pour des soupçons de propos à connotation raciste

Un gendarme considère ce haut gradé "nauséabond" tout en assurant qu'il n'est pas connu pour être un "gros facho" mais plutôt quelqu'un de "vieille France", sans forcément de méchanceté.

Vieille France, c'est cela, oui.
Des années 30-40.

Maybe they had assumed that they would find only a caricature of “the resistance” [...] what they discovered in the frozen North was something different: a real resistance, broad and organized and overwhelmingly nonviolent, the kind of movement that emerges only under sustained attacks by an oppressive state.
