My favourite part is that the developers that currently own it said:
https://github.com/polyfillpolyfill/polyfill-service/issues/2890#issuecomment-2191461961
Completely missing the point that they are the supply chain risk, and the fact that malicious code was already detected in their system (to the point where Google started blocking ads for sites that loaded polyfill .io scripts.
We don't even know who they are - the repo is owned by an anonymous account called "polyfillpolyfill", and that comment comes from another anonymous account "polyfillcust".

I'm not into JS stuff, but when I read that google is blocking ads, shit must be flowing in gargantuan amounts...
