[Microsoft Threat Intelligence @MsftSecIntel]

Microsoft Threat Intelligence is tracking reports of a suspected compromise of AsyncAPI's release pipeline, resulting in malicious packages published to the asyncapi npm namespace. Four packages (five versions) contain obfuscated malware. Combined, these packages see over 3 million downloads per week:

- asyncapi/[email protected]
- asyncapi/[email protected]
- asyncapi/[email protected]
- asyncapi/[email protected]
- asyncapi/[email protected]

The payload deploys a multi-stage RAT (characteristics overlapping publicly reported Miasma variants; attribution not confirmed) via hidden spawn, then downloads a second-stage payload from IPFS and persists as sync.js in user AppData.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint customers should act on these alerts:
- Trojan:Script/Supychain.A

To mitigate the issue: Pin to known-good versions, use lockfiles, and rotate any secrets exposed to affected CI runners.

Chimdiebube Onwubiko won a gold medal at the International STEM Olympiad.

He is just 13 years old and currently in JSS3. He has finished _Engineering Mathematics_ by K.A. Stroud.

He has now proven himself on the world stage.

Worsening Leadership Crisis in the Country Now Evident

The ultimate cost of uncompassionate leadership, as evident in the country today, is turning citizens’ frustration into deep, volatile resentment. It is even more traumatising when the leader presiding over that collapse demonstrates clear incapacity and a lack of compassion.

The government and people of Oyo State, more than 50 days after the abduction of the schoolchildren without any tangible effort toward their rescue, should rightly feel bitter and abandoned.

Since this unfortunate incident, I have spoken publicly about it twice, including appealing directly to the kidnappers to release the children. I also called the Governor twice to assure him of my solidarity, understanding that this issue is not just an Oyo problem but a Nigerian tragedy.

On Friday, July 3, I decided to travel to Ibadan with Prof. Pat Utomi to express solidarity with the Governor, as more than 50 days had elapsed without the rescue of the children and with numerous others still being held captive across the country.

During our two-hour meeting, I shared my experience in addressing insecurity as Governor of Anambra State. I recalled how President Olusegun Obasanjo, and later Presidents Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, would personally call us several times whenever we faced major security challenges.

But, to my utmost shock, I discovered that, contrary to my assumption that they had been in regular communication over the matter, Governor Seyi Makinde had not received a single call from President Bola Tinubu.

I remember the only case of a school kidnapping during President Goodluck Jonathan’s era - the Chibok girls. It drew local and international attention. Even though the security agencies provided almost daily updates on their efforts, Nigerians and the rest of the world were outraged that it took President Jonathan over two weeks to call the then State chief Executive.

I vividly recall that the current President, Bola Tinubu, led a team of vocal critics who called for President Jonathan’s immediate resignation over the incident, citing his delay in calling the state governor. That call for IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION should actually be the case in this matter.

Today, under President Tinubu, there have been more than 13 school kidnappings, yet the President has found it difficult to call the affected state’s chief executive after more than 50 days (over 7 weeks). This is outrageous. I suspect the same may also have been the case in other school kidnapping incidents.

I cannot imagine any issue more important than the lives of our kidnapped children, their teachers, and the many other Nigerians being held captive across the country. It is now an indisputable fact that governance has completely collapsed under this administration.

The situation reflects a total lack of capacity and compassion, compounded by glaring insensitivity.

Amid such an apparent display of incompetence, the President should either resign or, at the very least, abstain from seeking re-election for the sake of our dear country. This call is patriotic, not political. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

The main inventory database server crashed at 9 AM yesterday.

This was a massive problem because it's the only server I don't have a redundant script for.

I bought it in 2012 from a defunct startup and it literally runs on an operating system that no longer exists.

The VP of Ops came sprinting down the hall screaming that our entire supply chain was paralyzed.

He said warehouse workers were standing around in the dark and trucks were lined up out the loading dock.

He demanded to know the exact estimated time to recovery.

I looked at the blinking amber light on the physical chassis and realized the power cord was just slightly loose.

Someone had bumped it with a floor buffer.

I could've fixed it in 3 seconds by pushing the plug in a quarter of an inch.

Instead, I put on a pair of anti-static wristbands and told him we'd suffered a catastrophic cascade failure in the logic board.

I told him the magnetic platters were undergoing spontaneous demagnetization.

I said if I didn't perform a manual bit-by-bit extraction in a sterile environment, we'd lose 10 years of financial history.

He turned pale and asked what I needed.

I told him I needed total isolation, absolute silence, and a $150 per diem for emergency sustenance.

He locked down the entire IT wing and ordered the warehouse staff to go to an early lunch.

I ordered $85 worth of sushi on the corporate card.

I spent the next 3 hours eating spicy tuna rolls and watching a documentary about the construction of the Hoover Dam.

At exactly 1 PM, I leaned over and pushed the plug firmly into the socket.

The server whirred to life immediately.

I walked out of the server room looking exhausted and covered in simulated sweat from a spray bottle.

I told the VP I had successfully rewritten the boot sequence using raw hexadecimal code.

He hugged me.

A 50-year-old supply chain executive actually hugged me.

He told the CEO I was a miracle worker who saved the company from bankruptcy.

Corporate IT isn't about fixing problems.

It's about choreographing the illusion of salvation.

The board called an emergency meeting to discuss our enterprise AI strategy.

Every executive in the room was panicking about falling behind the innovation curve.

They asked me how quickly we could deploy our own LLM.

I told them I'd already initiated a proprietary machine learning protocol last night.

They were absolutely stunned by my agility.

The CEO asked for a demonstration of our new AI capabilities.

I opened my laptop and showed them a spreadsheet that automatically sorts customer emails by date.

It's a basic Excel macro I wrote 12 years ago.

I just renamed the file to Neural_Network_Node_01.

I told them the system uses predictive chronological sequencing to optimize our communication funnel.

I said it operates on a closed-loop algorithmic framework to ensure data privacy.

The VP of Sales literally started clapping.

He said this was exactly the kind of disruptive thinking we needed.

They authorized a $50K bonus for me for taking initiative.

I nodded humbly and promised to keep pushing the boundaries of our tech stack.

I'm taking the $50K and buying a vintage pinball machine for my basement.

AI isn't the future of technology.

AI is just the newest magic word you use to extract money from terrified executives.

I'm going to spend the rest of the day watching YouTube tutorials on how to refurbish pinball flippers.

The 3 wise men from the East are set to head to Rome: Chimdiebube Onwubiko, Egejurum Onyedikachi, and Don Anele Munachimso.

Their assignment is simple: bring back the gold.

They will be competing with 154 other countries in Rome, Italy, this week.

Since Nigeria couldn’t qualify for the World Cup, this will be our World Cup.
