The Full Story
Our endless supply chain nightmare continues as the delightfully named Mini Shai-Hulud campaign compromises various npm packages within the @antv ecosystem. This developer tragedy affected anyone foolish enough to trust these poisoned dependencies without checking who actually maintained them first.

I suppose expecting developers to audit their packages is far too much to ask, so we will probably just wait for the next inevitably ruined library.
