ENS Npm Packages Compromised in Supply Chain Cyberattack Affecting 400 Libraries

Ethereum Name Service ENS $11.53 24h volatility: 3.2% Market cap: $436.61 M Vol. 24h: $62.46 M software packages were compromised in a supply chain cyberattack affecting over 400 code libraries on npm, a platform where developers share and download software tools. ENS Labs said user assets and domain names appear unaffected.

The team detected that packages starting with @ensdomains were affected around 5:49 a.m. UTC on Nov. 24 and has since updated package versions while changing security credentials, according to ENS Labs. ENS-operated websites including app.ens.domains showed no signs of impact.

The attack also compromised packages from Zapier, PostHog, Postman and AsyncAPI, according to Aikido Security, which first detected the campaign on Nov. 24.

Crypto Packages Among Victims

Several blockchain development libraries were caught in the broad attack. Affected packages include gate-evm-check-code2 and evm-checkcode-cli used for smart contract bytecode verification, create-hardhat3-app for Ethereum ETH $2 935 24h volatility: 5.4% Market cap: $355.26 B Vol. 24h: $32.16 B project scaffolding, and coinmarketcap-api for price data integration.

Other crypto libraries affected include ethereum-ens and crypto-addr-codec, which handles cryptocurrency address encoding. Over 40 packages within the @ensdomains scope were compromised.

The incident echoes a backdoor discovered in XRP Ledger packages in April, where malicious code was injected into xrpl.js to steal private keys.

How the Attack Works

Malicious packages were uploaded to npm between Nov. 21-23. The malware propagates by compromising maintainer accounts and injecting code into their packages. It executes automatically when developers run standard installation commands.

The malware collects developer passwords and access tokens from GitHub, npm and major cloud services. It publishes stolen data to public GitHub repositories and creates hidden access points on infected machines for future attacks.

A GitHub search shows 26,300 repositories now contain stolen credentials, spread across roughly 350 compromised accounts. The number continues to grow as the attack remains active.

Koi Security researchers discovered an additional threat. If the malware cannot steal credentials or send data out, it erases all files in the user’s home directory.

Developer Response

ENS Labs stated that developers who have not installed ENS packages within 11 hours of the 5:49 a.m. UTC detection are likely unaffected. Those who installed during that window should delete their node_modules folders, clear npm cache and change all credentials.

The incident follows a series of crypto security breaches that have tested infrastructure projects this year. GitHub is actively removing attacker-created repositories, though new ones continue to appear.

LOVE ISLAND GAMES — Episode 201 — Pictured: Ariana Madix — (Photo by: Ben Symons/PEACOCK via Getty Images) Ben Symons/PEACOCK via Getty Images We’ve got a text! It’s time for another season of Love Island Games. With fan-favorites returning in hopes of winning the $250,000 cash prize, read on to learn more about Love Island Games Season 2, including the release schedule so you don’t miss a second of drama. Love Island Games is a spinoff in the Love Island franchise that first premiered in 2023. The show follows a similar format to the original series, but with one major twist: all contestants are returning Islanders from previous seasons of Love Island from around the world, including the USA, UK, Australia and more. Another big difference is that games take on much more importance in Love Island Games than the mothership version, with the results “determining advantages, risks, and even who stays and who goes,” according to Peacock. Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix is taking over hosting duties for Love Island Games Season 2, replacing Love Island UK star Maya Jama who hosted the first season. Iain Stirling returns as the show’s narrator, while UK alum Maura Higgins will continue to host the Saturday show Love Island: Aftersun. ForbesWho’s In The ‘Love Island Games’ Season 2 Cast? Meet The IslandersBy Monica Mercuri Jack Fowler and Justine Ndiba were named the first-ever winners of Love Island Games in 2023. Justine had previously won Love Island USA Season 2 with Caleb Corprew, while Jack was a contestant on Love Island UK Season 4. In March 2024, Fowler announced on his Instagram story that he and Justine decided to remain “just friends.” The Season 2 premiere revealed the first couples of the season: Andrea Carmona and Charlie Georgios, Andreina Santos-Marte and Tyrique Hyde,…
