Summary
Malicious code in backtradingbot (PyPI)
Details

-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-

Source: kam193 (117c24f5b7a0f5e4921e4478231a717ecca01748a5b266d8984e619f06173984)

Running the installed entry point downloads and executes remote code. During the analysis, the code was switching to websockets, adding a startup script and downloading next stages, which finally looked for browser and crypto wallet data. Currently, they seem not to attempt exfiltration of very sensitive data but rather a presence of different webbrowsers and wallets.

It uses the same remote domain as campaign 2025-07-db-indicator, but significantly different payload.

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

Campaign: 2025-07-backtradingbot

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.

  • peristence-autorun

  • exfiltration-browser-data

  • The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.

  • crypto-related
