GoPlus Chinese community issued a warning on platform X, stating that North Korean hackers have published a set of 26 malicious packages to the npm registry. These malicious packages come with an installation script ("install.js") that automatically executes during the package installation process, running malicious code located in "vendor/scrypt-js/version.js".

The malicious code downloads and executes a remote access trojan (RAT) via the same malicious URL, implementing malicious activities such as keylogging, clipboard theft, browser credential collection, TruffleHog secret scanning of Git repositories, and SSH key theft. This incident is related to a North Korean hacking activity known as "Famous Chollima".
