This is malware about actual-malware

Do you have any link, or source to check this claim?

NPM recently removed the ability for users to report compromised packages

Because it looks to me like I could, if I wanted, report the package.

Last couple times I went to report a security problem I got a prompt "Are you a maintainer of this package?" and I hit no then it said go home

Brilliant I'll probably add a proper "tooling recommendations" section to the readme at some point and I'll add that to it

Yeah, I'm also confused; this "Report malware" button exists pretty clearly on the package page, and this doc page says that it'll go to "the npm security team" (whoever that is)

Oh it looks like they took it down 🎉

@qpwo thanks for creating this to raise awareness of the problem. I have been working on the problem of detecting outbound traffic for this exact scenario, and while detecting from a desktop is hard, this new GitHub Action does allow detecting and restricting outbound traffic from GitHub Actions workflows that run on GitHub-hosted runner.
