The npm worm started spreading 5 days ago. 550+ known affected packages so far, including some with millions of downloads per week. Security vendors desperately trying to keep the lists of affected packages up-to-date, with mixed results.
Still zero word from Microsoft, the billion-dollar tech company that runs npm. Not so much as a tweet. After an entire business week. And the only real guidance that the various third-party security companies can provide, is "don't run npm at all until it's resolved".

Incredible.@joepie91 I am just glad it's being called a worm and not a "supply chain contagion" or something silly like that

@ansuz Lots of security companies are calling it a 'supply chain attack', unfortunately. I'm just personally insisting on calling it a worm, for the reasons that I suspect you're the last person I'd have to explain to 🙂
