### AI overview

Chainguard analyzes about 3,025 malicious Python packages from the Backstabber's Knife Collection to assess Chainguard Libraries for Python. The analysis reports that requiring attributable source code and validating source-to-artifact integrity could have prevented about 98% of the packages from being published; excluding packages without source code, the reported mitigation rate is 75%.

### Source excerpt

Chainguard recently found that 98% of malicious Python libraries from the Backstabber's Knife Collection could be avoided by using Chainguard Libraries.
