Polyfill.io Supply Chain Attack Smacks Down 100K+ Websites

In the online world, websites often rely on pieces of code that help them do all sorts of cool things, like letting you watch videos or making sure the page looks good on your phone. But what happens when someone sneaky slips in some bad code that causes trouble?

That’s a bit like what happened to over 100,000 websites recently. A big chunk of code, which lots of websites were using, got into the wrong hands. Earlier this year, a company from China bought the service that offers this chunk of code. But instead of keeping things running smoothly, the service started handing out malicious code – kind of like a bad candy in your Halloween bag – to all these websites.

This malicious code is super sneaky. It’s designed to change every time, making it hard to catch. Once it gets onto a website, it can do things like steal your information if you enter it on that webpage.

Imagine you’re playing a game of whack-a-mole, but every time a mole pops up, it’s wearing a different costume. That’s how tricky this code is for the good guys trying to stop it. This could lead to more serious digital attacks, like those cousins who play pranks on you at family gatherings, but a lot less friendly and a lot more damaging.
