- LiteLLM's decision follows a credential-stealing malware incident that affected its open-source version last week, despite having previously obtained two security compliance certifications from Delve.
- Delve faces accusations of misleading customers about compliance through alleged fake data and rubber-stamping auditors, which Delve's founder denies, offering free re-tests, while an anonymous whistleblower has released alleged receipts to counter the denial.
