	tl;dr: Mini Shai-Hulud malware was injected into keyv and eight related npm packages on August 4, 2026 after an attacker compromised the maintainer's GitHub account...
	HN Discussion: ↑npm install hooks should be deprecated or heavily restricted to prevent these attacks ↑The npm dependency ecosystem is fundamentally fragile and enables these supply chain attacks ↑Developers should adopt isolation/devcontainers and delayed package updates as defensive practices ↑GitHub should proactively detect and block Shai-Hulud exfiltration repos and compromised accounts •Seeking or sharing tools and resources to detect compromise in existing installations
