Lazarus Strikes npm Again with New Wave of Malicious Packages
The Socket Research Team has discovered six new malicious npm packages linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, designed to steal credentials and deploy backdoors.
This package aimed to develop and maintain Jalali Calendar also called Persian Calendar in the form of Javascript Date Class, Basically we have a JDate class with identical interface and behavior of Data class
I believe we need more atomic libraries in javascript that are independent of other frameworks/libs. this package is one of those atomics, I searched a lot to find a real implementation of Date class for Jalali calendar and found a few. All of them was not really identical with Date class in term of interface and behavior. the only on that was close to this idea was jdate and it was pure in coding, maintenance and modern development, still I'm not sure about it's possible logical bugs! I refactored this code to a modern and modular npm package for ease of use in modern work flow.
