    It does not actually wipe your disk, it just places a file on the users desktop. It seems the author originally wanted to wipe the users disk, but decided against it. Shit like this is a great reason to always pin your dependencies and do your research before upgrading them.

      Pretty sure the author decided to do it in the first place. That moron is the reason why I hesitate to install LITERALLY ANY NPM PACKAGE now.

    This is terrible and node-ipc should not have done this. It’s shameful conduct by node-ipc authors.

    In the statement from the NGO they threaten legal action. Is there grounds/precedent for such a thing? Don’t you use open source code at your own risk?

    This is so incredibly ill-targeted. All sorts of services can be hosted in Russia or Belarus without having anything to do with the war, the governments or even being bad in any way. This is atrocious.
