Description
The teate-thy-sonic-ciso npm package is part of a campaign flooding the npm registry with malicious packages designed to inflate developer reputation scores for the tea.xyz token reward system. These packages contain autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized names, often Indonesian-themed, by modifying package.json files to remove private flags and change version numbers. This behavior results in continuous republishing of variants, polluting the npm ecosystem.
