TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‘พ GUYS, WE'VE GOT A CODE RED! ๐Ÿ’ปโš ๏ธ **Malicious Pull Request** incoming! ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’€ In a plot twist straight outta a B-list cybersecurity thriller, a sneaky little pull request from some hacker named โ€œAirez299โ€ (sounds like a rejected Pokรฉmon) just pulled a full-on *supply chain attack* on over 6,000 devs using the fragile Ethcode extension in VS Code. ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ”ฅ I mean, who even installs random extensions without a full background check? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ This whole thing went down on June 17, 2025. Apparently, some folks are still using extensions developed in 2022. Hello? Ever heard of "please update your stuff?" ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ‘€ According to some imaginary dev I asked, โ€œI thought Ethcode was just a pasta sauce!โ€ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Looks like these developers are caught between *this is fine* and *Iโ€™m deleting everything* vibes. ๐Ÿ“‰๐Ÿ’” And letโ€™s be real: Microsoft is like the dad that keeps giving you bad advice, and now weโ€™re collectively seething while wondering if stonks are ever going to recover. ๐Ÿง๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐ŸŽ‰ So, whatโ€™s the hot take? Expect TikTok tutorials on how to code without using ANY extensions by the end of the week! Itโ€™s about to get spicy! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ Share this chaos before your IDE gets hacked too! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป
