Your AI Coding Assistant Is Installing Packages That Don't Exist. Attackers Noticed.

February 24, 2026

19.7% of packages recommended by AI code generators don't exist — and 58% of those hallucinated names are repeatable. Attackers are registering them. Here's how slopsquatting and AI-amplified typosquatting work, why the discourse is wrong about all of it, and what to actually do.

February 8, 2026

Companies spend $50K-$200K on SOC 2 compliance and then sleep soundly. They shouldn't. SOC 2 is a trust signal, not a security guarantee. Here's the uncomfortable gap between compliance and actual security — and how to close it.
