July 13, 2018
An attacker compromised the npm account of an ESLint maintainer and published malicious packages to the npm registry. On installation, the malicious packages downloaded and executed code from pastebin.com which sent the contents of the user’s .npmrc file to the attacker. An .npmrc file typically contains access tokens for publishing to npm.
