From typos to takeovers: Inside the industrialization of npm supply chain attacks

Attackers published packages with names just close enough to popular libraries, such as “lodsash,” “expres,” “reacts,” and waited for automation or human error to do the rest. The impact was usually limited, and remediation straightforward.That model began to break in 2025.Instead…
