This one might not have been that cheap. The malicious code was added by a maintainer on the project for two years. That is some patience
Agreed. I am more speaking of ‘in general’, for example there was a supply chain attack on a widely used npm package by writing an email to the author of the npm package. There are other ‘cheap’ attacks like dependency confusion, typo squatting etc.
What about finding someone like this and then blackmailing them?
That would be cheaper
Lol, too true. It’s either that or honeytraps
