  Context, apparently: „JavaScript library node-ipc updated to wipe files from Russia systems“ https://www.theregister.com/2022/03/18/protestware_javascrip...

  The fact that the author was not immediately banned from NPM says quite a lot.

  My first encounter with doxbin, apparently a pastebin clone but for doxing.
