ms_aidc_com_twnpm
Advisory published Updated
ms_aidc_com_tw is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-13828) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious version 1.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in ms_aidc_com_tw (npm)
What this malware does
The package ms_aidc_com_tw ships only an index.html that renders a fake Cloudflare Turnstile 'security verification' page. On Turnstile completion, heavily obfuscated JavaScript (obfuscator.io-style rotating string array _0x59f1, RC4/base64 decoder _0x2020, self-defending anti-debug checks) assembles a URL to login.microsoftonline.com, copies the current page's query-string parameters onto it, and calls window.location.replace to hand the victim off to Microsoft's real login with attacker-controlled parameters preserved — the standard adversary-in-the-middle / OAuth-consent phishing relay pattern. The package name impersonates a Microsoft-branded Taiwanese corporate domain (ms.aidc.com.tw). The obfuscation exists solely to conceal the phishing destination and the parameter-relay logic from casual review. The npm registry is being abused as hosting infrastructure for a Microsoft 365 credential-harvesting landing page.
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for ms_aidc_com_tw (version 1.0.0).
If you installed it — respond
ms_aidc_com_tw is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.
Did it already run?
If ms_aidc_com_tw was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Detect & block this
O3 blocks ms_aidc_com_tw-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
