Checkmarx researchers unveil a year-long malware campaign targeting Roblox developers via malicious npm packages that impersonate the legitimate 'noblox.js' library.
The attackers effectively exploit trust in the open-source ecosystem, publishing misleading package names that prey on developers unfamiliar with the nuances of library management.

This sophisticated approach incorporates brandjacking and starjacking techniques, creating a façade of credibility to mislead developers into unwittingly installing harmful software.
