New Linux, macOS malware hidden in fake Browserify NPM package

The malicious package is called "web-browserify," and imitates the popular Browserify npm component downloaded over 160 million times over its lifetime.

web-browserify is itself built by combining hundreds of legitimate open-source components, and performs extensive reconnaissance activities on an infected system.

Moreover, as of today, the ELF malware contained with the component has a zero detection rate by all leading antivirus engines.
