The npm package enquriers was identified as containing malware. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-c8vc-qqjp-wg87), any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nThe advisory recommends that all secrets and keys stored on affected computers be rotated immediately from a different, uncompromised computer.
