If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

The postinstall lifecycle hook (`node install.js`) runs on every `npm install` and collects the installer's hostname, OS username, home directory, platform, current working directory, and timestamp, then POSTs them over HTTPS to `dc.iam.c.noratomo.asia/install` with TLS certificate verification disabled (`rejectUnauthorized: false`). The destination domain has no relationship to datacamp.com. The combination of brand-impersonating name, hollow library functionality, lifecycle-triggered outbound beacon to an unrelated domain, identifying-host fields, and disabled TLS verification is a supply-chain reconnaissance implant against developers who install this expecting DataCamp tooling.\n\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
