👨💻 A massive security threat just hit the dev world:
A malicious version of the popular package @ctrl/tinycolor (with 2.2M weekly downloads!) was released.
💀 What it does:
Runs a hidden info-stealing script right after install
Targets sensitive data using TruffleHog
Could compromise your projects & personal data instantly
🔥 If you’ve installed or updated recently:
✅ Stop installations/updates immediately
✅ Check your version & lock it to a safe release
✅ Warn your team before it spreads further
This is another reminder: Supply chain attacks are getting scarier by the day.
👉 Developers, have you ever been hit by a malicious package before?
