The authors of node-ipc have pushed malware in an update, which wipes your disk if you happen to have Russian or Belorussian IP address. (lemmygrad.ml)

It is a javascript library. Obviously people are super mad about it. Check out the issues page: https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/node-ipc/issues

The author sounds like the kind of person who thinks the opposition to their move is a signal for how correct their morals are.

Not that everyone is criticising them in good faith. If you go through the issues you can tell that a lot of people there probably don't use the library or a derivative but are enjoying the opportunity they have found to slag off someone anonymously.

Meanwhile the library author has doubled down on the correctness of their peacenotwar module to inflict collective punishment on Russian and Belarusian people. Typical woke imperialist mindset. I think they have removed the destructive malware in node-ipc though so that is a small positive. But I don't know who will decide to use this library now that it comes bundled with peacenotwar.
