Quote:A developer appears to have purposefully corrupted a pair of open-source libraries on GitHub and software registry npm. Marak Squires introduced a malignant commit (a file revision) to colors.js that adds “a new American flag module” and rolled out version 6.6.6 of faker.js, triggering the same destructive turn of events. The sabotaged versions cause applications to infinitely output strange letters and symbols, beginning with three lines of text that read “LIBERTY LIBERTY LIFERTY.” Squires later sent out a tweet noting he’s been suspended from GitHub.
