TeamPCP Hackers Arrested for Major Supply Chain Attacks On August 26, 2026, Australian Federal Police arrested two men, Ruben Thomson and Louis Gaebler, linked to the TeamPCP hacking group. This group is notorious for sophisticated supply chain attacks that compromised over 1,000 organizations globally, stealing more than 500,000 credentials and exfiltrating at least 300GB of data. The attacks involved injecting malicious code into popular open-source software, including Trivy, LiteLLM, and Telnyx, which developers unknowingly integrated into their applications. The investigation, which began in April 2026, involved collaboration between the AFP and the FBI. Both suspects face multiple charges, including unauthorized data modification and dealing in criminal proceeds. The financial impact of their actions is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Further arrests may occur as the investigation continues. 26 sources 70
