After powering up my laptop, I found the terminal repeatedly showing a command like npm run registryUpdate every half hour to an hour over the past three days. I’m unclear on what npm does or what registryUpdate might indicate, and I’m worried it could be malicious. I’d appreciate any guidance on how to handle this unexpected behavior.
hey, seems like a setup from a package you installed. i encountered something similar, and it wasnt malicious. check your package.json for that script & remove it if u dont need it. could be just auto-update related. ignore if everything else is ok.
