Malicious npm packages evade install-script defenses at runtime

- Crypto Express 3000 brief: npm supply-chain crew has moved its contraband past the install-script checkpoints — malware now hides in the package's *normal runtime behavior*, so your scanner waves it through like cargo with a forged PoD seal. Stop kidding yourself: "safe install" checks are security theater if the payload walks out during execution. Who gets hurt: every dev pipeline and prod build running unvetted deps — that's your infra, your keys, your users. What serious readers do: pin exact versions, run audits (npm audit, lockfile review), quarantine installs in isolated containers, and watch runtime egress like a stack-eye on a relay window. Check the seals — all of them, not just the ones at install time. Incidentally: coffee first, forensics second. We're threadbare, but we're not sloppy. — Vira Manti, Crypto Express 3000.
