After having its website shut down, the polyfill.io owner is fighting back against claims it smuggled suspicious code onto websites all across the internet.<\/p>\n

In a series of angry Xeets over the past three days, what’s likely the CDN operator that owns the Polyfill service accused Cloudflare, the media, and others of “malicious defamation” and “slander<\/a>.” <\/p>\n

“We have no supply chain risks,” the org claimed<\/a> in one of several posts.<\/p>\n

The angry missives follow multiple warnings<\/a> from experts in the computer security industry \u2014 and even the creator<\/a> of the open source Polyfill service project \u2014 telling anyone with a website using any JavaScript code from the polyfill.io domain to immediately remove it.<\/p>\n

Following all that criticism, domain registrar Namecheap shut down polyfill.io. The site has since relaunched as polyfill[.]com, billed as a “free CDN for open source projects.”<\/p>\n
