Namecheap Takes Down Polyfill.io Service Following Supply Chain Attack
Polyfill.io has been serving malware for months via its CDN, after the project's open source maintainer sold the service to a company based in China.

Package description
The @algolia/cache-common package is part of the Algolia ecosystem, designed to provide a common interface and utility functions for implementing caching mechanisms. This package is typically used to enhance performance by reducing the number of API calls needed, thereby saving bandwidth and speeding up response times by storing and retrieving data from a cache.
Cache Interface
Defines a standard interface for cache operations including setting, getting, and deleting cache entries. This interface ensures consistency across different implementations of caches used in various Algolia libraries.
{
set(key, value) {
// implementation code
},
get(key) {
// implementation code
},
delete(key) {
// implementation code
}
}
InMemoryCache
Provides a basic in-memory cache implementation that can be used to store data within the process memory. Useful for environments where installing external caching systems is not feasible.
const { InMemoryCache } = require('@algolia/cache-common');
const cache = new InMemoryCache();
cache.set('key', 'value').then(() => {
return cache.get('key');
}).then(value => console.log(value));
node-cache is a simple in-memory cache similar to InMemoryCache from @algolia/cache-common. It offers basic set, get, and delete functionalities but lacks the built-in support for Algolia-specific features and optimizations.
memory-cache provides in-memory caching similar to @algolia/cache-common's InMemoryCache. While it serves a similar purpose, memory-cache does not conform to a standardized cache interface that might be required for integration with other Algolia tools and services.
