Session
A Case Study In Cross-Ecosystem Security Response
Companies use multiple open source projects and programming languages in their product stack creating a potential ‘wheel of misfortune’ when thinking about the rise in software supply chain attacks. Taking it one step further malicious actors are targeting programming languages to get to the core of how products are built. The rise in attacks at the programming language level seen as recently as September 2025 has amplified the need for cross communication between language ecosystems. Using the phishing attacks on Rust and Python as a case study we will show how Alpha-Omega facilitated stronger links between ecosystems, specifically the Rust Foundation and Python Software Foundation (grantees of Alpha-Omega) and how this helped improve security response times and outcomes when the phishing attacks were launched.
