Yep, I've been pwned. 2FA reset email, looked very legitimate.

Only NPM affected. I've sent an email off to @npmjs.bsky.social to see if I can get access again.

Sorry everyone, I should have paid more attention. Not like me; have had a stressful week. Will work to get this cleaned up.

Ran into that while wondering why running `npm install` takes so long on the Preact repo.
