It's actually pretty easy to detect that something is obfuscated, but it's harder to prove that the obfuscated code is actually harmful. This is why we still have a team of humans review flagged packages before we try to get them taken down, otherwise you would end up with way too many false positives.

Yeah, what I meant is that obfuscation is a strong sign that something needs to be flagged for review. Sadly, there's only a thin line between obfuscation and minification, so I was wondering how many false positives you get.

Thanks for the links in your other comment, I'll take a look!
