The most newsworthy one in the last year was core js - a JS poly fill library that most other big npm libraries are built on top of. The maintainer is some random guy from a remote part of Russia. About half a year ago, he was sentenced to a prison sentence . He was the sole maintainer of the project (I guess he refused to give other people write access). I’m not sure if any of its dependent projects have done anything about forking the project, but I wouldn’t be surprised if most just ignore it until it causes some hilarious left-padpocalyse.

Core-js most recent commit was 4 days ago, and the repo owner stopped both committing and being the sole committer about 7 months ago with no extended interruption in activity (and there've been several patch releases since), so it looks like whatever happened was dealt with quickly.
