New, from me:

At least 18 popular JavaScript code packages that are collectively downloaded more than two billion times each week were briefly compromised with malicious software today, after a developer involved in maintaining the projects was phished. The attack appears to have been quickly contained and was narrowly focused on stealing cryptocurrency. But experts warn that a similar attack with a slightly more nefarious payload could quickly lead to a disruptive malware outbreak that is far more difficult to detect and restrain.

The court-ordered fix for Google’s search monopoly is a big disappointment. No structural changes to Google. No ban on Google paying billions to Apple, others for default placement. Users’ sensitive search queries for sale to competitors with uncertain privacy protections.
