For the moment, I assume it's not feasible to slopsquat on fake sources, at least not at scale, but that's only one category of problems associated with fake citations. The other is real citations used in misleading ways. I'm not smart enough to know how to fix this.
A review of the proceedings from four major computer-science conferences showed that none from 2021, and all from 2025, had fake citations.

So, is someone who uses the slopsquat a Squat cobbler?

I recently saw an article about "slopsquatting" (www.tomsguide.com/ai/slopsquat...) which could result instead in your AI code installing malware on your computer or into software you intend to distribute.

Sounds more like slopbait to me. Or since the package is acting like a virus pretending to be an immune cell, perhaps a slopmimic or slopmime.
Anything sounds better to me than slopsquat. But I'm not in charge of these things. 😂

So, coding LLMs are consistently hallucinating non existent package names - and the bad guys are then supplying packages with those names (and some embedded malicious code) to "slopsquat" their way into systems. Really interesting and alarming research! socket.dev/blog/slopsqu...
The Rise of Slopsquatting: How AI Hallucinations Are Fueling...
Slopsquatting is a new supply chain threat where AI-assisted code generators recommend hallucinated packages that attackers register and weaponize.

Love a good slopsquat
1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
