This is the same style of attack that took 1.5B from Bybit ~1yr ago.

Fundamentally: There is no way to lock webapps to reproducible builds.

Except: IPFS could do it but IPFS has been very very poorly maintained.

I published IPFS-boot ~1yr ago and its a simple idea:

1. deploy a webapp bootloader using something immutable like IPFS

2. bootloader is basically react hot reloading except user agrees what to load

3. bootloader polls a mutable list of app updates and user agree or disagree each update

Now the bootloader has a static content addressable URI but it can also do updates. TBH I think IPFS may be a lost cause but something needs to take its place and this idea is transferable to whatever that is. https://github.com/rhodey/IPFS-boot
