NPM has pulled the effected versions and the payload. Time to clean up and see if you were effected.

Hijacked maintainer account used to publish poisoned axios releases including 1.14.1 and 0.30.4. The attacker injected a hidden dependency that drops a cross platform RAT. We are actively investigating and will update this post with a full technical analysis.

This is why I find https://setapp.com/ to be a great thing – on MacOS and iOS alike.

It lowers the threshold to get started with a subscription.

@stroughtonsmith Any thoughts on adding Pastel to Setapp?

Here to say that Eurosky.social seems to have issues. Good to have an account here as well then 🥳

Trump says some European imports will face a 10% tariff over Greenland spat

President Donald Trump says he'll impose a 10% import tax starting in February on goods from eight European nations because of their opposition to American control of Greenland. His threat sets up a potentially dangerous test of U.S. partnerships in Europe. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland would face the tariff. Trump says the rate would climb to 25% on June 1 if no deal was in place for “the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland” by the United States. European leaders said the tariffs “would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral.”
