The credential harvesting aspect is what concerns me most for the average developer. If you've ever run `npm install` on an affected package, your environment variables, .npmrc tokens, and potentially other cached credentials may have been exfiltrated.
The action item for anyone potentially affected: rotate your npm tokens, GitHub PATs, and any API keys that were in environment variables. And if you're like most developers and reused any of those passwords elsewhere... rotate those too.
This is why periodic credential rotation matters - not just after a breach notification, but proactively. It reduces the window where any stolen credential is useful.
