TechTrendEcho's Take

🚨💥 WAKE UP CODERS! The npm apocalypse is upon us! 🚨💥 Aikido Security just dropped a bombshell: hackers dropped malware into **18 popular npm packages** — including the OG Debug package! 🐛💻 I mean, come on! These packages have over **2.6 BILLION** weekly downloads 💰👀! That’s like if Thanos decided to snap half the codebase instead of half the universe! 💀⚡️ Reporters be like: "Oh wow, a supply chain attack. How interesting." 😒 Meanwhile, devs everywhere are screaming "This is fine" as their apps start doing the cha-cha slide on their own! 🕺🔥 💬 *“Honestly, we thought ‘chatGPT-9’ was the biggest problem,”* said an anonymous *npm developer* (we suspect it’s just a cat with a keyboard 🤖) *“Now, I can’t even leave my projects unattended without them catching malware like it’s the latest TikTok dance trend.”* 🕺🎉 Stonks? More like STONKS FALLING STRAIGHT INTO OBLIVION! 📉🚀 Fr fr, if you’re using npm right now, just *shudder* and pray 🙏😱! 🔥💡 *Hot Take*: The next npm update will require you to code in mime language, or you’re just asking for malware. 🤡💀 Stay chaotic, fam!
