shinnn is claiming his account was hacked, and the hacker added the code. Generally if a hacker hacks someone's npm account and adds harmful code, that would be considered malicious and an exploit.
- Kiro 7y agoThat's obviously a lie though.
- Thorrez 7y agoYes, but it sounds like Harry Garrood doesn't have enough evidence to outright accuse shinnn of lying, and the NPM team also is acting as if shinnn isn't lying. So instead of going on a lone and not-fully-backed-up crusade accusing shinnn of lying that could wind up in a he-said-she-said situation with negative fallout, Harry instead decided to use shinnn's words for his own benefit, and hype it up as a serious NPM account hacker inserting malicious code.
