Security Advisory: Another well-known developer's NPM account has been compromised, injecting wallet-stealing malware

BlockBeats News, September 9th. According to Socket monitoring, the ongoing NPM supply chain attack has spread from the well-known developer Qix to another highly prominent maintainer. The NPM account duckdb_admin, responsible for the DuckDB-related package, has been compromised, and multiple malicious versions have been published. The injected code is the same wallet-stealing malware used when Qix's account was compromised, strongly indicating that both are part of the same attack campaign.

Previously reported, Ledger's CTO stated that in the event of a large-scale supply chain attack, the entire JavaScript ecosystem could be at risk. However, the NPM attackers were not successful, and there were almost no victims.
