ALTERED SPIDER, also known as TeamPCP, is a financially motivated cybercriminal group conducting software supply-chain attacks against developer tooling and cloud environments. Its targeting includes developers' AI tools, with compromised software dependencies providing access to downstream development environments. In one campaign, the group compromised more than 300 software dependencies in a single day. The group harvests credentials and secrets from compromised environments and uses them to pivot into cloud infrastructure for theft and extortion. Its operations combine large-scale dependency compromise with credential theft and subsequent cloud access, extending the impact of an initial software supply-chain intrusion into connected infrastructure.
