Hey, no problem, man. You do a lot for the community, and it's not all your fault. We learn from our mistakes. I was thinking of having a public fake profile to avoid this type of attack, but I'm not sure how it would work on the git tracking capabilities. Probably keeo it only internally for you&NPM ( the real one ) and have some fake ones open for public but not sure, just an obfuscated idea. Thanks for taking the responsibility and working in fixing ASAP. God bless you.
Unfortunately wouldn't have helped. They skimmed my npm-only address directly from the public endpoint.
Wow, that's actually kinda genius not gonna lie. Honestly, I would love seeing some 2fa or some other way to prevent pwning. Maybe having a sign up with google with all of its flaws still might make sense given how it might be 2fa.
But google comes with its own privacy nightmares.
