We discover a fake vscode extension that serves a multi-stage malware on npm, Inc.

The package uses javascript obfuscation for downloading the first stage of the malware, than it uses a heavily obfuscated batch file to conntinue into the second phase.

Lastly it leverages preconfigured ScreenConnect remote desktop installer to communicate with the compromised machine.
