Jamin Ball (Clouded Judgment): Zero Knowledge, Maximum Trust — Three Concurrent Supply Chain Attacks Expose SaaS Trust Crisis

Clouded Judgment (Jamin Ball)·medium signal

Jamin Ball's April 3 newsletter connects three concurrent supply chain attacks — the Claude Code 500K-line source leak, Mercor's 4TB data theft via a LiteLLM dependency, and the Axios npm hijack by North Korean state actors — into a unified thesis: trust in the software supply chain is incredibly fragile and zero-knowledge proofs may be the missing trust layer for the agentic era. Ball argues the convergence of three independent compromise vectors in the same week is a structural warning.
