Supply chain attacks strike again. The NPM ecosystem's Shai-Hulud malware has revealed a new 3.0 variant, and security research organizations have issued an emergency alert. This is not the first time—previously, the Trust Wallet API key leak incident was very likely the work of version 2.0. Project teams and trading platforms need to take immediate action: strengthen code audits, update dependency libraries, and monitor abnormal calls. These types of supply chain attacks are often highly covert and widespread; once implanted, they can pose large-scale risks to user assets. If not addressed now, the consequences could be dire. It is recommended that all Web3 practitioners quickly inspect their systems to prevent defenses from being compromised in the most overlooked corners.

Is it that supply chain thing again? npm really needs to be more careful; there's a new trick every day.

Back at it with this again? I've been saying that dependency libraries are a big pitfall, but no one listens. --- The supply chain situation is really unsustainable; everyone needs to pay more attention. --- The name Shai-Hulud sounds pretty intense; I can imagine another wave of projects dying out. --- Troubleshooting systems sounds easy, but how many actually do it? --- The Trust Wallet issue isn't over yet, and now there's a new trick. Who can handle this? --- Honestly, code audits in the Web3 space are really just a formality; it's asking for trouble. --- High concealment and wide impact make it a nightmare to configure. --- The defense line was breached in an inconspicuous corner; just hearing that feels powerless. --- Having to tinker with updates and dependencies again, so annoying. --- Feels like this time it will be a big scale event; everyone be careful.

Here it comes again, I can't sleep whenever there's an issue with npm --- Haha no wonder my wallet has been frequently in distress recently, turns out Shai-Hulud has been keeping an eye on it --- Really, are these hackers demons? They don't even spare the supply chain corner --- I just want to ask, what should we small retail investors do? We can't just audit the code ourselves, right? --- That Trust Wallet incident has made me see everything as malicious software now, I’m suffering from PTSD --- System troubleshooting? I haven't even written my own code, hahaha --- NPM causing trouble again, how rotten does this ecosystem have to be to be repeatedly broken down

Coming again? Can we really trust NPM this time? --- Damn, was that Trust Wallet also done by these guys? The defenses are completely collapsing. --- Supply chain issues are hard to defend against; who can guarantee they won't get caught? --- Hurry up and investigate, everyone. Don't regret it after being exploited. --- The most overlooked corner falling is really heartbreaking; firewalls are useless. --- The NPM ecosystem is stirring again. Can we still profit from it properly? --- Tighten up code audits, or the next project to be hacked will be yours. --- Is this 3.0? Hackers are also iterating; it's pointless. --- Talking about asset risks lightly, but in reality, it's a total loss. --- Everyone stop sleeping, check your dependency libraries now.

Supply chain is really the biggest black hole; once it fails, the whole system is lost. NPM has another issue? This time, they’re using a different disguise to continue scamming. I couldn’t keep up with Trust Wallet last time, and now there’s version 3.0 again. If this keeps up, who will still trust these libraries? It’s always discovered only after the fact. Code audits need to be more rigorous; superficial checks are not enough.

Damn, another round of supply chain震荡, this time NPM really became a sieve Trust Wallet's incident hasn't been resolved yet, and now 3.0 pops up? That's hilarious Quickly review your dependency libraries, this thing is so disgusting Every time they say to be cautious, but someone still gets caught, what's going on This is the real silent killer, more outrageous than any contract漏洞

Here it comes again, this kind of thing... I predicted it would happen this way long ago. The supply chain is the most easily overlooked part; everyone is focused on price fluctuations, but the defense line was broken right from the code repository. Historical experience tells us that it’s always like this. Don’t believe the project team’s explanations; you need to pay attention yourself.

Here we go again? That pile of NPM stuff really needs to be cleaned up --- The supply chain is getting hammered every day, when will it finally settle down --- The Trust Wallet issue isn't over yet, now they’re coming up with new tricks, better check my library again quickly --- Honestly, losing a small corner is the most dangerous, who would have thought --- Version 3.0? This thing updates so frequently, it’s a bit annoying --- Dependencies must be closely monitored, or someone will always try to stir up trouble --- Web3 is really on the brink of collapse, the defenses all feel like paper --- Why is the supply chain always causing trouble, when will they change things up --- Audits are useless, what really matters is that someone actually cares

Here we go again, the supply chain is really troublesome, impossible to guard against everything. NPM has already been compromised, how can we trust dependency libraries anymore? We have to review the code manually. This time, 3.0 is really ruthless. It feels like most projects can't keep up at all. The Trust Wallet incident is still not clear, and now there's a new trick. It feels like Schrödinger's security. We need to hurry up with audits, or one day we'll get compromised without even knowing. Blacklist the dependency libraries I rely on first, and deal with the fuss later. Isn't this just a game of hot potato? In the end, the unlucky ones are the retail investors holding the coins. The supply chain defense line is so easy to break; Web3 really hasn't been done well yet. The more people use NPM packages, the more unlucky they are. Now reverse supply chain involution is trending. Time to work overtime on troubleshooting again. Being a developer these days is really tough.
