  • •ThreatLocker identified multiple software supply chain attacks in May 2026.
  • •Zero-day vulnerabilities like MiniPlasma and Linux Copy Fail were reported.
  • •Organizations are urged to adopt Zero Trust security measures.

In May 2026, ThreatLocker reported significant cybersecurity threats targeting software supply chains, including zero-day exploits and credential abuse. Key incidents involved the Mini Shai-Hulud and TeamPCP attacks, which compromised GitHub and TanStack. The analysis highlighted the exploitation of trusted software ecosystems and the need for organizations to adopt Zero Trust principles. Emerging zero-day vulnerabilities like MiniPlasma and Linux Copy Fail were also noted, emphasizing the ongoing risk of privilege escalation. The report stresses that traditional security measures like multi-factor authentication are insufficient against these evolving threats. Group-IB's research further underscores the importance of operationalizing software supply chain security through daily practices, linking supply chain attacks to broader cyber threats like phishing and ransomware.
