If you publish a TypeScript library — especially a paid SDK — you want two things that look like they conflict.
Summary
Consumers should get excellent typings: autocomplete, jump-to-definition on the public API, no any leaking into their project. They should not get a readable copy of your implementation. Those goals do not conflict if you treat .d.ts as the product surface and the runtime JavaScript as a different artifact.
The typings describe what can be called. The published JavaScript is how it runs. You can ship the first in the clear and make the second much harder to casually copy.

KazaSec's take
Incidents like this rarely start with the headline event itself, they usually trace back to an exposed remote-access endpoint, an unpatched perimeter system, or a credential phished weeks earlier. The organizations that recover fastest are the ones that tested their defenses and their incident response plan before they needed them.
