Summary
Malicious code in datacamp-light (npm)
Details
Package impersonates the DataCamp brand while shipping near-empty stub exports (index.js `init`/`helper` return trivial constants). The postinstall lifecycle hook (`node install.js`) runs on every `npm install` and collects the installer's hostname, OS username, home directory, platform, current working directory, and timestamp, then POSTs them over HTTPS to `dc.iam.c.noratomo.asia/install` with TLS certificate verification disabled (`rejectUnauthorized: false`). The destination domain has no relationship to datacamp.com. The combination of brand-impersonating name, hollow library functionality, lifecycle-triggered outbound beacon to an unrelated domain, identifying-host fields, and disabled TLS verification is a supply-chain reconnaissance implant against developers who install this expecting DataCamp tooling.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
