    PSA that the dependency management supply chain attack that all the fuddy duddies were suggesting JS ecosystem was going to inevitably hit has, indeed, been hit, for maybe not the first and probably not the last time. It would be a good day to know what your transitive does are.

        (It occurs to me that this tweet may need the elaboration “fuddy duddy is an (archaic?) US colloquialism for an older person who is distinctly uncool.”)

        If that hacker that inserted the backdoor would have just triaged and merged some PRs first, we could say that we finally found a sustainable method for monetizing open source maintenance. The solution was crypto, just not in the way we were hoping.

        They genuinely did make legit contributions first! That's how they convinced the maintainer to give them ownership:https://twitter.com/rauchg/status/1067160250061635584 …

        js/npm is definitely ripe for attack as opposed to other langs like go: - deps are often minified which is indistinguishable from obsfucation - most people don’t check in their deps but allow it to be resolved at deploy time so if changes occur you don’t see them

        Definitely not the first time. ESLint-scope (https://nodesource.com/blog/a-high-level-post-mortem-of-the-eslint-scope-security-incident/ …) and GetCookies (https://thenewstack.io/npm-attackers-sneak-a-backdoor-into-node-js-deployments-through-dependencies/ …) almost perfectly mirror the 2017 warnings from Chalker (weak NPM dev passwords on important libs) and Gilbertson (quietly malicious dependencies).

        And it’s scary to think the dependency management systems for all languages have a similar vulnerability to some degree
