Non-existent software dependencies hallucinated by LLMs are already being used for successful software supply chain attacks: https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/28/ai_bots_hallucinate_software_packages/

Reported by Bar Lanyado. Note that the payload was non-malicious in this study. One of the companies snared by this experiment was Alibaba.
