Wiz reported on May 27, 2026 that a threat group it tracks as JINX-0164 has been approaching crypto developers on LinkedIn and luring them into fake meeting links that install macOS malware. The campaign is designed to steal credentials and take over CI/CD pipelines, and it includes a confirmed supply-chain incident involving a trojanized npm package version released on April 7, 2026.

A Rust-based infostealer dubbed IronWorm was embedded in 36 npm packages connected to the Arweave/WeaveDB ecosystem, targeting developer credentials, SSH keys, and Exodus wallet files. The malware ran via a preinstall hook during npm install, searched 86 environment variables and 20 credential files, and used stolen GitHub tokens to spread through malicious commits. Security researchers advised anyone who installed the affected packages to rotate exposed secrets and harden npm/GitHub accounts.

On June 6, 2026, House Financial Services Committee member French Hill said stablecoins should not pay interest, arguing that yield-bearing designs resemble bank deposits or money market funds and could sidestep obligations banks face.
