Ultimately, the available solutions

Not putting mission-critical workloads in edge data centers doesn’t make them more secure, but it does reduce the impact of an attack.
Conclusion
for protecting edge data centers are limited. But taking action to protect them is far better than doing nothing. As such, edge data center operators should invest in security tools such as remote monitoring systems and mitigate their risks by hosting critical workloads outside of edge data centers and keeping their locations hidden from threat actors.

Social Engineering Attacks Threaten the Entire Open Source Ecosystem
16.04.2024
Following the recent XZ Utils hack , maintainers of another open source project have said they may have been subject to similar social engineering attacks, ComputerWeekly reports.

The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) and the cameroon mobile database Foundation, which support many JavaScript-based open source software (OSS) projects, have warned that a social engineering attack previously spotted in April 2024 against the XZ Utils data compression library may not be an isolated incident.

During the attack, a threat actor known as JiaTan had been infiltrating the XZ Utils project for several years, gaining the trust of the project's maintainers and making legitimate software updates, and then attempted to introduce a backdoor vulnerability, CVE-2024-3094, which could have been disastrous if not for the prompt action of an astute researcher.

Now, OpenSSF and OpenJS are calling on all open source maintainers to be vigilant against such takeover attempts - after the OpenJS Cross project board received several suspicious emails asking them to update one of their projects to fix critical vulnerabilities without providing any specific details.
