I wish more developers understood the constant stream of malware that is posted to npm
You might also want to look at npq which is an open source project that helps you proactively defend against potentially bad (malicious) npm packages before installing them.

Packj sandbox for “safe installation” of Ruby gems
That's pretty cool. I was just recently publishing about Ruby gem lockfile injection attacks (read here: https://snyk.io/blog/ruby-gem-installation-lockfile-injection-attacks/). I also wrote something related to this for npm users, but not a sandbox, called npq: https://github.com/lirantal/npq/

npm package node-ipc was found to contain malicious code that wipes files on disk
In any case, proactively protecting against is indeed the more difficult thing to do, but also the rarer and sort of 0 day vulnerabilities that happen. That said, I built a module called npq (see here https://github.com/lirantal/npq/) that helps me, and others, countermeasure against these sort of malicious incidents. In light of recent malicious incidents, it calls for updating some of the capabilities there (referred to as marshalls)
