am I the only one who thinks this could be more than a coincidence?

Hey, I wrote that article :) - yes it was pure coincidence, I just decided with all the security stuff going on this week (Spectre/Meltdown, I hadn't heard about the npm stuff) I'd write and article about it.

I didn't think of it. But it is a coincidence, Good one.

I find it hard to believe, but never say never, of course.
