ENS Npm Packages Compromised in Supply Chain Cyberattack Affecting 400 Libraries

2025/11/25 04:41

Ethereum Name Service ENS $11.53 24h volatility: 3.2% Market cap: $436.61 M Vol. 24h: $62.46 M software packages were compromised in a supply chain cyberattack affecting over 400 code libraries on npm, a platform where developers share and download software tools. ENS Labs said user assets and domain names appear unaffected.

The team detected that packages starting with @ensdomains were affected around 5:49 a.m. UTC on Nov. 24 and has since updated package versions while changing security credentials, according to ENS Labs. ENS-operated websites including app.ens.domains showed no signs of impact.

The attack also compromised packages from Zapier, PostHog, Postman and AsyncAPI, according to Aikido Security, which first detected the campaign on Nov. 24.

Crypto Packages Among Victims

Several blockchain development libraries were caught in the broad attack. Affected packages include gate-evm-check-code2 and evm-checkcode-cli used for smart contract bytecode verification, create-hardhat3-app for Ethereum ETH $2 935 24h volatility: 5.4% Market cap: $355.26 B Vol. 24h: $32.16 B project scaffolding, and coinmarketcap-api for price data integration.

Other crypto libraries affected include ethereum-ens and crypto-addr-codec, which handles cryptocurrency address encoding. Over 40 packages within the @ensdomains scope were compromised.

The incident echoes a backdoor discovered in XRP Ledger packages in April, where malicious code was injected into xrpl.js to steal private keys.

How the Attack Works

Malicious packages were uploaded to npm between Nov. 21-23. The malware propagates by compromising maintainer accounts and injecting code into their packages. It executes automatically when developers run standard installation commands.

The malware collects developer passwords and access tokens from GitHub, npm and major cloud services. It publishes stolen data to public GitHub repositories and creates hidden access points on infected machines for future attacks.

A GitHub search shows 26,300 repositories now contain stolen credentials, spread across roughly 350 compromised accounts. The number continues to grow as the attack remains active.

Koi Security researchers discovered an additional threat. If the malware cannot steal credentials or send data out, it erases all files in the user’s home directory.

Developer Response

ENS Labs stated that developers who have not installed ENS packages within 11 hours of the 5:49 a.m. UTC detection are likely unaffected. Those who installed during that window should delete their node_modules folders, clear npm cache and change all credentials.

The incident follows a series of crypto security breaches that have tested infrastructure projects this year. GitHub is actively removing attacker-created repositories, though new ones continue to appear.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
