Beware the jQuery Juggernaut: How a Crafty Supply Chain Attack Hijacked Web Forms

Beware of sneaky cyber crooks slipping trojanized jQuery into your code! A “complex and persistent” attack has been unspooling across npm, GitHub, and jsDelivr, with 68 dubious packages playing hide and seek. Watch out for the ‘end’ function—it’s the malware’s Trojan horse!

Hot Take:

Who knew that jQuery could get a glow-up in such a nefarious way? Sneaky cyber villains have turned the beloved web development library into a Trojan horse, and it's trotting through our supply chains like it owns the place. The cyber-sleuths at Phylum must've felt like they were playing a game of ‘Where’s Waldo?’ with malware, and spoiler alert: Waldo is everywhere.
