Sadly there is a user @nj48, who already published empty modules and took the names [1].

Is this a joke or something coordinated with the community?

EDIT : The hijacked modules look suspicious. http://www.drinchev.com/blog/alert-npm-modules-hijacked/

@nj48 is just some troll who took all the names. Not sure the intention of @nj48. The hijacked modules are not dangerous at this point, but that could easily change and cause serious issues.
