ChainCatcher news, according to CertiK Alert monitoring, developer Qix's NPM account was compromised by a phishing attack, and the attacker injected malicious code into npm. According to Security Alliance, the attacker appears to have profited only about $0.05 worth of ETH and $20 worth of Meme coins.

Previous reports stated that Ledger CTO Charles Guillemet posted that "a large-scale supply chain attack is currently underway: the NPM account of a well-known developer has been compromised. The affected packages have been downloaded more than 1 billion times, which means the entire JavaScript ecosystem could be at risk. The malicious code works by silently tampering with cryptocurrency addresses in the background to steal funds."
