Attackers are just having fun due to abysmal state of npm and some of the insecure design choices by GitHub and GitHub Actions. Every attack gives them credentials which in turn used to stage more attacks.
When you have AI models finding vulnerabilities by themselves in a for-loop, it isn't long before there is no human to go kinetic on.
What they do is already illegal. The problem is finding out who they are and where they live to go and arrest them.
We can’t even prevent shop lifting.
