🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages.

The latest axios@1.14.1 now pulls in plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise.

This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now.

Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that:

• Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime
• Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis
• Executes decoded shell commands
• Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories
• Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence

If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.

A sardonic take on the state of the internet in the near future, listing AI-driven problems: supply chain attacks, AI-generated PRs, bot-dominated social replies, frequent Claude/Cloudflare/AWS outages, and crypto spam. Ends with dry sarcasm about AI 'making a change in the world.'

internet in 2026 is so beautiful:
> supply chain attacks every week
> most of PRs are clawdbots
> almost every reply guys is AI
> Claude down 6 hrs/day and rate limited 5 hrs more
> can’t flush the toilet because Cloudflare and AWS uptime is a joke. probably outage from an outage
> crypto bros in every crack of internet
guys i think AI is making a change in the world.
