The AFP tied both to TeamPCP, a hacking group it says compromised more than 1,000 organizations worldwide since the group surfaced in December. The AFP's statement did not name the suspects. KrebsOnSecurity says it identified both men and traced the operational security mistakes that led investigators to them.\n\nTeamPCP's signature move was poisoning open-source packages with malware that spread on its own from one package to the next, using CI\u002FCD pipelines as the delivery mechanism. That's a bigger problem than a single breach: CI\u002FCD systems are built to push code fast and wide, which is exactly what let one group's tampering cascade into a thousand-plus victims. Arrests don't undo the packages already shipped with tainted code, and they won't patch the pipeline trust model that made the attack possible in the first place.\n\nTwo arrests after nine months and a thousand-plus victims is a reminder that supply chain attacks scale faster than the investigations meant to stop them.","[\"teampcp\",\"supply-chain-attacks\",\"cybercrime\",\"open-source-security\"]","2026-08-28T11:15:05.000Z","2026-08-28T12:24:23.078Z","2026-08-28T12:24:34.987Z","published",null,[],"security",[26,27,28,29],"teampcp","supply-chain-attacks","cybercrime","open-source-security",[31],{"name":32,"url":33},"Ars Technica","https:\u002F\u002Farstechnica.com\u002Fsecurity\u002F2026\u002F08\u002Fauthorities-arrest-2-alleged-members-of-prolific-hacking-group-teampcp\u002F",0,{"sections":36},[37,42,46,51,56,61,66,71,76,81,86,91,96,101],{"name":38,"slug":39,"count":40,"latest_published_at":41},"AI","ai",3351,"2026-08-30T14:51:33.000Z",{"name":43,"slug":24,"count":44,"latest_published_at":45},"Security",503,"2026-08-29T10:30:00.000Z",{"name":47,"slug":48,"count":49,"latest_published_at":50},"Policy","policy",244,"2026-08-30T15:35:10.000Z",{"name":52,"slug":53,"count":54,"latest_published_at":55},"Deals","deals",179,"2026-06-29T20:02:07.000Z",{"name":57,"slug":58,"count":59,"latest_published_at":60},"Hardware","hardware",148,"2026-08-27T15:33:14.000Z",{"name":62,"slug":63,"count":64,"latest_published_at":65},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",95,"2026-08-18T16:05:00.000Z",{"name":67,"slug":68,"count":69,"latest_published_at":70},"Science","science",91,"2026-08-20T10:01:48.000Z",{"name":72,"slug":73,"count":74,"latest_published_at":75},"Software","software",73,"2026-08-18T07:51:50.000Z",{"name":77,"slug":78,"count":79,"latest_published_at":80},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",69,"2026-08-18T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":82,"slug":83,"count":84,"latest_published_at":85},"Startups","startups",52,"2026-08-25T18:55:12.000Z",{"name":87,"slug":88,"count":89,"latest_published_at":90},"Gaming","gaming",41,"2026-07-09T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":92,"slug":93,"count":94,"latest_published_at":95},"General","general",33,"2026-08-18T22:18:13.000Z",{"name":97,"slug":98,"count":99,"latest_published_at":100},"Reviews","reviews",20,"2026-06-24T12:00:01.000Z",{"name":102,"slug":103,"count":104,"latest_published_at":105},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
