Yep, I've been pwned. 2FA reset email, looked very legitimate.

Only NPM affected. I've sent an email off to @npmjs.bsky.social to see if I can get access again.

Sorry everyone, I should have paid more attention. Not like me; have had a stressful week. Will work to get this cleaned up.
@bad-at-computer.bsky.social Hey. Your npm account seems to have been compromised. 1 hour ago it started posting packages with backdoors to all your popular packages.

The semver library used in npm, yarn and pnpm could be made 33x faster.

Ran into that while wondering why running `npm install` takes so long on the Preact repo.
