A massive supply chain attack compromised popular npm packages including Chalk, affecting over 2.5 billion weekly downloads. The attack began with a phishing email targeting maintainer Josh Junan, leading to malicious code that swapped cryptocurrency wallet addresses in web browsers. Despite the widespread impact across JavaScript ecosystems and CI/CD pipelines, attackers only stole about $50 worth of Ethereum before the community detected and neutralized the threat within 2 hours.
