Multiple npm packages are being used in an ongoing malicious campaign dubbed LofyLife to infect Discord users with malware that steals their payment card information.
The malware used in these attacks is a variant of the open-source and Python-based Volt Stealer token logger, according to Kaspersky security researchers Igor Kuznetsov and Leonid Bezvershenko.
"On July 26, using the internal automated system for monitoring open-source repositories, we identified four suspicious packages in the Node Package Manager (npm) repository," the researchers said.
"All these packages contained highly obfuscated malicious Python and JavaScript code. We dubbed this malicious campaign 'LofyLife'."
The malware is automatically deployed after installing the small-sm, pern-valids, lifeculer, or proc-title malicious npm modules.
Once installed, it collects Discord tokens and system information, including the victims' IP addresses.
