Threat Actor Exposes Playbook for Exploiting npm to Build Blockchain-Powered Botnets
A threat actor's playbook for exploiting the npm ecosystem was exposed on the dark web, detailing how to build a blockchain-powered botnet.

Advanced tools
A public library of JavaScript code used Barchart Event Tracking Service — a simple tool for collecting and reporting usage statistics.
Simply put, this project contains code that runs on both the servers (i.e. Serverless applications) and clients (e.g. browser, mobile, etc).
Data is passed between client and server in JSON format. However, the code works with more complex types. For example, Decimal
instances are used in place of native JavaScript floats and Day
instances are used instead of native JavaScript Dates.
So, before data is exchanged, it must be converted to pure JSON. Conversely, when data is received, as pure JSON, it's translated into more complex types before use. This is facilitated by the Schema
definitions which build custom "reviver" functions for JSON parsing.
This library has been published as a public module to NPM as @barchart/events-api-common.
