Once again, Shai-Hulud wrecking havock in the Javascript and Typescript ecosystems via NPM.

One of the worst ecosystems that has been brought into the software industry and it is almost always via NPM. Not even Cargo (Rust) or go mod (Golang) get as many attacks because at least with the latter, they encourage you to use the standard library.

Both Javascript and Typescript have none and want you to import hundreds of libraries, increasing the risk of a supply chain attack.

At this point, JS and TS are considered harmful.
