Summary

Hide ▲

The Beamglea phishing operation is using 175 malicious npm packages and unpkg.com redirect scripts to funnel victims to credential-harvesting pages, broadening risk across a wide set of organizations. The infrastructure has already been downloaded 26,000 times and is tied to targeting more than 135 industrial, technology, and energy companies worldwide. The packages do not execute malicious code on install; instead, they support victim-specific HTML payloads that trigger browser redirects. That setup turns trusted package hosting into a scalable phishing delivery channel.

    Researchers flag Beamglea malicious npm packages used for credential phishing

    Initial Disclosure

    Cybersecurity researchers identified 175 malicious packages on the npm registry that were being used as infrastructure for the Beamglea phishing campaign, which targeted more than 135 industrial, technology, and energy companies worldwide. The packages had been collectively downloaded 26,000 times and abused npm and the unpkg.com CDN to host redirect scripts that loaded JavaScript from unpkg.com, injected victim email addresses, and sent victims to Microsoft credential-harvesting pages.
