The last few days were very stressful for many developers. Out of nowhere, right after deployment, their applications were no longer working. The reason was frightening: two very popular JavaScript libraries included via NPM stopped working. The colors.js was printing some gibberish in the console. The faker.js disappeared and was clearly corrupt! Hackers? Mistake? No. The frustrated opensource developer did that on purpose.
In this video you will learn the background story, and what's more important, how to protect your applications from being injected with corrupted libraries!
