Back in August, the Australian Federal Police and FBI arrested two men in Australia who were the masterminds behind TeamPCP, which has been carrying out Shai-Hulud supply chain attacks against npm since last year.

The OSS acquihires continue with Tailwind announcing it’s been bought by e-commerce giant Shopify.
