The Landscape of Malicious Open Source Packages: 2025 Mid‑Year Threat Report
A look at the top trends in how threat actors are weaponizing open source packages to deliver malware and persist across the software supply chain.
A simple asyncronous wrapper around the public yahoo finance API
While the yahoo finance website is clunky and basic - underlying it is a very powerful API that is primarily powered by refinitiv data. Many python packages have attempted to implement wrappers around this API, however they fall short for one of two reasons. Either they don't expose all of the available endpoints of the API, or they are syncronous / rely on threading which is less efficient for IO bound tasks.
yfinhanced attempts to solve both of these issues by providing access to the full range of endpoints, and using pythons modern asyncronous support in asyncio and aiohttp. As a result, this package is extremely fast and feature complete.
