TL;DR
Avoid anything made by @equinusocio in the future.
What happened?
It's hard to understand why @equinusocio (https://github.com/equinusocio) put malicious code in to such a well-known VSCode plugin but @t3dotgg has a great blog post about it.
They've (@t3dotgg) have also taken on forking the repo, combing through the code for anything malicious, and reuploading Material Theme for all to use again.
On Februrary 24, 2024 users starting alerting one another to the issue via the repository issues page. Mattia has since removed the issues area of the repository hiding the concerns.
