PANews March 3rd: The GoPlus Chinese community on X platform issued a warning that North Korean hackers have released a set of 26 malicious packages on the npm registry. These packages all include an installation script (“install.js”) that automatically executes during installation, running malicious code located in “vendor/scrypt-js/version.js”. The malicious code downloads and executes a remote access Trojan (RAT) via the same malicious URL, enabling keylogging, clipboard theft, browser credential collection, TruffleHog secret scanning of Git repositories, and SSH key theft. This incident is linked to a North Korean hacking group called “Famous Chollima.”
Users and developers are advised to verify the source and security of packages before installation to avoid these 26 malicious packages and prevent privacy leaks or asset loss:
