Crashing out at how poorly npm (Microsoft) is handling this security incident. Eleventy is not affected any more but *lots* of other tools in the JavaScript ecosystem are!
Hours later and the compromised package versions are still public…
Maybe don’t install anything from npm today, folks.

Notice: one of Eleventy’s dependencies was compromised a few hours ago. `debug@4.4.2` was the compromised version affected (it is now unpublished from npm).
