The latest Miasma/Shai-Hulud worm will not run if your development system has KOI8-R (Russian) as the primary language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOI8-R https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOI8-R > Kill switch, as always with APT28 malware, is setting the host language to ru_RU.KOI8-R (LANG environment variable). That disables the spread mechanism. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48460507 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48460507 Note: KOI8-U is Ukrainian and would still trigger the worm/trojan/malware.
