Australian Charges Name Two Men in TeamPCP Supply-Chain Poisoning of Trivy, KICS, LiteLLM

Two Western Australian men face 14 charges for TeamPCP’s March 2026 supply-chain attacks that chained Trivy compromises into KICS and LiteLLM. Evidence from AFP seizures, Unit 42 reports, and Hudson Rock archives shows credential theft across five ecosystems and exposure estimates ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 organizations. The case underscores how unpinned open-source dependencies enable rapid lateral movement in CI/CD environments.
