Microsoft says Sapphire Sleet, a North Korean state-sponsored group also known as BlueNoroff, is behind the Mastra supply chain attack that compromised 141 NPM packages and exposed users during a 45-minute publishing window on June 17. The attack used a typosquatted easy-day-js dependency and a malicious postinstall dropper to target Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, with Mastra users urged to remove affected versions and rotate secrets. #SapphireSleet #BlueNoroff #Mastra #easy-day-js #Axios
