Well, the hack didn't survive more than 2-3 hours if I'm not mistaken. I don't think that counts as "nobody acted on it."


Actually, from the OP, the timeline is:

> March 31, 00:21 UTC: axios@1.14.1 published with plain-crypto-js@4.2.1 injected

> March 31, around 01:00 UTC: axios@0.30.4 published with the same payload

> March 31, around 01:00 UTC: first external detections

> March 31, around 01:00 UTC: community members file issues reporting the compromise. The attacker deletes them using the compromised account.

So it was found out almost immediately.
