A malware incident has been identified in the npm package tailwindcss-animates-kit. According to the GitHub Advisory (GHSA-v4xp-qgj3-gphm), any computer with this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.\n\nThe advisory recommends immediate action: all secrets and keys stored on affected computers should be rotated from a different, uncompromised system.
