Bitcoin Magazine NPM Attack: Javascript Library Compromise Goes After Bitcoin Wallets A major NPM developer, qix, has had their account compromised . It was used to push malware that targets and searches for bitcoin and cryptocurrency wallets on users devices. If detected, the malware would patch the code functions used to coordinate transaction signing, and replace the address a user is trying to send money to with one of the malware creator’s own addresses.
