What Aephix does
Agents pull artifacts at generate-time: packages, models, skills, MCP servers, extensions, and containers. Those artifacts arrive from different registries under different names, with nothing connecting them. Aephix Threat Research surfaces coordinated activity across those artifacts, links the pieces to a single operation, and briefs subscribers on it every week in Sleuth.
Aephix Threat Research publishes first-hand analyses of malicious artifacts found in that supply chain. Aephix Academy publishes plain-language guides to how the attacks work.
Products
Aephix Vantage is the free cross-ecosystem lookup. Anyone can check an artifact before it reaches a build, with no account required.
