GitHub Advanced Security customers can now view an overview of security alerts at the enterprise level. The new “Security” tab at the enterprise level provides a repo-centric view of application security risks, as well as an alert-centric view of all secret scanning alerts. Both views are in beta, and will be followed in the coming months by alert-centric views for code scanning and Dependabot alerts.

All npm accounts that do not have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled will now receive an email with a one-time password (OTP) when authenticating through either the npmjs.com website or the npm CLI. The emailed OTP must be provided, in addition to a user’s password, before authenticating. This extra layer of authentication helps prevent common account takeover attacks, such as credential stuffing, which utilize a user’s compromised and reused password. It is worth noting that enhanced login verification is intended to be an additional baseline protection for all publishers. It is not a replacement for 2FA, such as time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), WebAuthn, or other methods described by NIST 800-63B. We encourage maintainers to opt-in to 2FA authentication. In doing so, you will not need to perform enhanced login verification.
You can read more about enhanced login verification in our documentation and blog.
