> supply chain attacks

You all really need to stop using this term when it comes to OSS. Supply chain implies a relationship, none of these companies or developers have a relationship with the creators other than including their packages.

Call it something like "free code attacks" or "hobbyist code attacks."

“code I picked up off the side of the road”

“code I somehow took a dependency on when copying bits of someone’s package.json file”

“code which showed up in my lock file and I still don’t know how it got there”

A supply chain can have hobbyists, there's no particular definition that says everyone involved must be a professional registered business.

I know CrowdStrike have a pretty bad reputation but calling them hobbyists is a bit rude.
