Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the stories shaping the digital world.
A supply chain attack researchers are calling Operation Muck and Load has quietly compromised over two hundred GitHub repositories since January. A fake Go module disguised as a DNS scanner was actually delivering Windows malware, spreading across nearly two hundred accounts and accumulating over seven hundred malicious versions. It's a reminder that open-source trust has real limits.
Shifting to artificial intelligence, a European project called Soofi has published a technical report on a sovereign large language model trained in just two months. The effort is part of a broader push on the continent to develop AI infrastructure that isn't dependent on American or Chinese platforms — a goal that's as much about political autonomy as it is about raw model performance.
And in a quieter corner of the developer world, a project called pgrust has reached a notable milestone — passing one hundred percent of PostgreSQL's regression tests. That's a full reimplementation of Postgres compatibility, written in Rust, now clearing the same bar the original database sets for itself. For anyone watching the slow Rust-ification of foundational software, this one's worth noting.
