it’s the kind of dependency developers install without a second thought
I got a feeling this is an attack vector that will continue to grow, as now there’s vibe coding frameworks installing random dependencies without a thought at all.
There’s two things at play, here:
- installing dependencies without checking
- a framework that will allow this
Both are absolutely the fault of the user.
I know I’m old because I saw 56k and immediately wondered why they were doing this over dialup.
Im 34 and had this same thought… ): I dun wanna be old yet
I’ve got to research how can I do individual sandbox/jail for projects that are opened using VSC. Maybe dockerize everything 🤷♂️
For a layman, how might one deduce if they were affected? I cannot really tell from the article if this was particularly widespread.
If you haven’t logged in to your WhatsApp through any third party applications you should be fine.
No way to know for sure based on this. If you used any app that “works with” WhatsApp in any way, you could be affected.
