Typosquatting
Malicious npm packages steal developer credentials on multiple platforms
Ten typosquatted npm packages, uploaded on July 4, 2025, have been found downloading an infostealer that targets sensitive data across Windows, Linux, and macOS systems. These packages, mimicking popular libraries, evaded detection through multiple obfuscation layers and amassed nearly 10,000 downloads. Cybersecurity firm Socket reported the threat, noting the packages remain available in the registry.
