Researchers from Checkmarx discovered a supply chain attack in the Node Package Manager (NPM) ecosystem, blending malware with blockchain technology for command-and-control operations. “jest-fet-mock”, a malicious package disguised as a JavaScript testing tool, targets developers. The malware leverages information from Ethereum smart contracts on infected systems and communicates with a command server, maintaining a resilient infrastructure. This innovative use of blockchain makes it difficult for traditional cybersecurity methods to detect or remove. Checkmarx has urged developers to improve security protocols to prevent similar breaches.
