March 2022 node-ipc malware incident

In March 2022, Miller, maintainer of the node-ipc package on the npm package registry, released a version in protest of the Russian invasion of Ukraine allegedly containing malicious code. The payload would write a file named "WITH-LOVE-FROM-AMERICA.txt", containing an anti-war message, to the desktop of affected machines. Additionally, on machines with Belarusian and Russian IP addresses, the payload would overwrite all files on the system with a heart emoji. Miller denied the allegations that the code was malicious, and said he had been swatted in retaliation; however, sources reporting on this disputed his denials.
