Title is hyperbole. The internet wasn't broken by an NPM package because most of the internet and most of the web doesn't use NPM packages.

It also doesn't explain it only breaks a site/application if you perform zero testing before deployment. You have to upgrade your dependencies before an npm package change can affect you.
