These packages are so ubiquitous they end up in everything: front-end apps, back-end microservices, and CI tooling. Developers didn’t do anything wrong, they just ran the same command they always do: npm install chalk. But then the malware arrived silently. This wasn’t a bug in an operating system. It wasn’t a virus on someone’s laptop.
