Malicious npm Packages Inject SSH Backdoors via Typosquatted Libraries
Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
This module is an adaptation of merge, nlargest and nsmallest from the heapq module in Cython. This makes it just a tad bit faster.
x 1.5 for nlargest and nsmallest (given a particular micro benchnmark of course). x 3 for merge. nlargest performance is comparable with cytoolz.topk (but cyheapq also provides nsmallest). merge is around 8 times faster than cytoolz.merge_sorted. The microbenchmark used involves sifting / merging 10e6 random floats.
