Attack Simulator for SolarWinds, Codecov, and ua-parser-js breaches
The SUNSPOT malware, Codecov breach, and lot of compromised open-source packages (like was the case with ua-parser-js) target the CI/ CD pipeline to modify release build or exfiltrate credentials.

PSA: Tor.com was hacked and is currently spreading malware
I think you are misunderstanding the attack vector in the article you linked. This isn't the same thing we were discussing, please see https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-pjwm-rvh2-c87w. This was not a compromise designed to go after the visitors of the website so far as I can tell (and even if it were, it couldn't do much except possibly steal a password if you entered it on a compromised site or steal cookie data). This was designed to target people who were using the library in their software, aka, it was targeting the build-chain of the developers, and many devs and companies as a result had computers compromised when the updated their versions, which caused the compromised version to download to their computers.
- Supply-chain attack on NPM Package UAParser, which has millions of daily downloads
- The npm package ua-parser-js had three versions (0.7.29, 0.8.0, 1.0.0) published with malicious code.

Modern PHP
With NPM, what's actually published is not what's in the git repo, so it's harder to inspect/review vulnerabilities or hijacking. With composer, what's in git _is_ what composer pulls (with the exception of rules in .gitattributes to exclude files etc), making it much easier to trace. One such example: https://github.com/faisalman/ua-parser-js/issues/536
Composer packages are vendor namespaced, so hijacking an abandoned package is not possible (and it is with NPM), some examples like https://www.theregister.com/2021/08/10/github_npm_package/

Some developers are fouling up open-source software
Sure, I suppose in theory it could happen with other ecosystems, but for some reason it doesn't. It sure seems to just keep happening in NPM though.

Vulnerable and Outdated Components
From the other side, npm package may be hijacked(as it happened recently for ua-parser-js and to other packages earlier). To mitigate that, I don't know, probably, subscribing to some security digest would be the most helpful.

Secure software supply chain: why every link matters
On Oct. 22, 2021, developers of a very common NPM package, ua-parser-js, discovered that some attackers uploaded a compromised version of the package containing malware for Linux and Windows, and were capable of stealing data (at least passwords and cookies from the browser).

Thoughts on improving security of Neovim plugins
Since Neovim 0.5 release (which has full Lua support) I see more and more amazing Lua plugins being developed, and I think this trend will likely to continue. But I recently got more concerned about security risks associated with the way Neovim plugins being installed and used (especially after seeing recent compromises like ua-parser-js or coa). Installing typical Neovim plugin is basically downloading and executing random code from the internet on your machine with your user privileges, so hijacked or deliberately malicious plugin could potentially do a lot of damage (like stealing keys/passwords, installing keylogger or just rm -rf / for fun).
