We're lucky this issue was detected because of an error. I would bet this has happened or is happing now without anyone knowing. Javascript is particularly difficult to find malicious code as code can be executed in many forms. As long as eval exists and npm allows for pre/post-install functions and require executes code there's not much we can do except be ignorant to what's actually running every time we use node.
