Cyber attackers are increasingly targeting the very tools developers trust—integrated development environments (IDEs), low-code platforms, and public code repositories. In this episode of Threat Vector, host David Moulton speaks with Daniel Frank and Tom Fakterman from Palo Alto Networks Threat Research Team. They uncover how nation-state actors and cybercriminals are using trusted development tools like Visual Studio Code to run malware, exfiltrate data, and stay undetected.
Listeners will learn about real-world APT campaigns, why dev tools are high-value targets, and how organizations can secure their software supply chain without slowing down developers.
