Honestly, the whole thing is attributed to a cybercriminal group called TeamPCP they’re the ones behind those massive "Shai-Hulud" worm attacks on NPM that messed with TanStack and Red Hat recently. But if you're wondering whose actual idea it was in the first place, or who the specific mastermind is, nobody really knows. The security community only knows the group name. To make matters worse, TeamPCP actually leaked the malware's source code on a hacking forum, so now a bunch of copycats are running with the idea too. |

Well thanks for your answer. Because I had that idea when someone asked me about what would do big if not fixed. Well there it goes. What will be the next security fail safe. |
