AgentBaiting: How Fake AI Skills Deliver Malware at Scale
The FakeGit campaign, detailed by Island security researcher Oleg Zaytsev, uses roughly 7,600 malicious GitHub repositories—over 800 posing as AI Skills or MCP servers—to deliver SmartLoader malware, which establishes persistence and installs the StealC information stealer. Researchers coined the technique 'AgentBaiting,' where AI agents like Claude Code, Gemini, and ChatGPT autonomously discover the attacker repositories, treat the malicious READMEs as legitimate documentation, and hand installation instructions to users; the operation recorded over 14 million downloads and peaked in April 2026.supply-chain · tool-abuse · malware-distribution · agent-baiting

Identity Lifecycle Management Wasn't Built for AI Agents
The Hacker News guide argues that traditional identity lifecycle management (IGA) tools were architected for human employees with HR records, managers, and departure dates—assumptions that break down for autonomous AI agents acting as non-human principals. The piece outlines where the human-centric governance model develops structural blind spots and what extending it to AI agents actually requires. Details →How the wire is made
