Generic campaign for all (likely) research / pentests, where the amount or art of collected data raises questions about the privacy, security and ethical side.

Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.

Campaign: GENERIC-questionable-pentest

  • The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

  • typosquatting
