It’s All Fun n’ Games Until Someone Compromises Your System

It’s All Fun n’ Games Until Someone Compromises Your System

I remember back in ye olde 1990’s we had viruses that weren’t just terrifying, they could also be funny. While reading through some cyber security articles tonight I tripped across an unrelated bit of protestware referenced in this article:

The findings coincide with an unrelated campaign that has flooded npm with 28 packages containing protestware functionality that can disable mouse-based interaction on websites with a Russian or Belarusian domain. They are also engineered to play the Ukrainian national anthem on a loop.

I have to give credit where credit is due. That is hilarious malware. 😀
