What happened
Collection of Snyk blog posts (Feb–Mar 2026) highlighting AI-driven supply chain and developer security trends: LLMs are causing widespread reuse of abandoned open‑source packages (“Dormant Majority”), increasing supply‑chain risk and the need for package health intelligence; emergence of the AI Security Engineer role to protect AI‑native systems; a Snyk partnership with the Python 'uv' ecosystem to provide high‑performance, security‑first package management; CTF write‑ups covering web/AI/crypto challenges; and integration with Anthropic’s Claude Code Security to close the find→fix remediation
