Attackers too are looking to cash in on the AI coding craze, adapting their supply-chain techniques to target coding agents themselves.
Many AI agents autonomously scan package registries such as NPM and PyPI for components to integrate into their coding projects, and attackers are beginning to take advantage of this. Bait packages with persuasive descriptions and legitimate functionality have cropped up on such registries, while packages that target names that AI coding agents are likely to hallucinate as dependencies are another attack vector on the horizon.
Researchers from security firm ReversingLabs have been tracking one such supply-chain attack that uses “LLM Optimization (LLMO) abuse and knowledge injection” to make packages more likely to be discovered and chosen by AI agents. Dubbed PromptMink, the attack was attributed to Famous Chollima, one of North Korea’s APT groups tasked with generating funds for the regime by targeting developers and users from the cryptocurrency and
Teradata has launched its Autonomous Knowledge Platform, a new flagship offering that brings together data, analytics, AI development, agent orchestration, and governance across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
The target customer is an enterprise that has moved beyond testing AI assistants and is now asking harder questions: which data agents can use, what actions they can take, how much they will cost to run, and who is accountable when something goes wrong.
The company said the platform builds on its existing database engine and governance infrastructure, while adding new capabilities and more tightly integrating existing ones, including AI Studio, the Tera natural-language workspace, Tera Agents, Elastic Compute on Teradata Cloud, and the upcoming Teradata Factory for on-premises AI workloads.
Teradata is entering a competitive market with this. Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft, Oracle, and Salesforce are all trying to persuade customers that their platforms should beco

The headline may sound extreme here. Of course, Claude is not replacing CFOs tomorrow morning. But with the debut of Claude’s new Financial Services Solution by Anthropic, it has clearly moved to a new direction in the world of finance, one where AI does way more than crunch numbers or explain stuff. Think specific financial […]

AWS announces the general availability of the AWS MCP Server, a managed remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents and coding assistants secure, authenticated access to all AWS services. The AWS MCP Server is part of the Agent Toolkit for AWS, a suite of tooling that includes the MCP Server, skills, and plugins that help coding agents build more effectively and efficiently on AWS.
Everyone is adopting AI coding tools. Engineers are writing code faster than ever. But are organizations actually delivering value faster? That’s not obvious. I wrote Enabling Microservice Success with a big focus on engineering enablement, guardrails, automated testing, active ownership, and light touch governance. I didn’t know AI coding agents were coming, but it turns […]
