Slopsquatting
Registering a software package under a name that AI models tend to invent, then waiting for a coding assistant to suggest it and a developer or agent to install it. A supply-chain attack built on hallucinations.
“The package the agent installed didn't exist last month. Someone was slopsquatting the name it kept hallucinating.”
