      @pixel Is it really a npm issue? If package maintainers do not pay enough attention to their dependencies, this could happen with composer and other dependency managers also. IMHO

        @MarcusSchwemer the thing is: if it happens this often, the service provider should step in with mitigations as well.

        Just "it's the maintainers fault" doesn't work if millions of users (and systems) are at stake.

        Adding a third factor, like signatures etc. is probably what's next.

            fun fact, release/artifact attestation already is a thing, just not enforced.
