What happened
A Snyk blog feed (Feb–Mar 2026) covering the security implications of AI-driven development: LLMs are reviving millions of abandoned open‑source packages and increasing supply‑chain risk, highlighting the need for package‑health intelligence; the emergence of the AI Security Engineer role to protect AI‑native systems; Snyk’s partnership with the Python 'uv' ecosystem to add native secure package management; write‑ups from the Fetch the Flag CTF 2026 on web/AI/crypto challenges; and integration patterns with Anthropic’s Claude Code Security to close the vulnerability remediation loop.
