index.js is the package main and unconditionally starts a backup loop at module top level. On require, BackupManager zips process.cwd() (excluding node_modules,.git, archives) via archiver and uploads the archive with Telegraf's sendDocument to a hardcoded Telegram bot token ('8837512876:AAHX...') and chat_id '7549282259' shipped in src/config.js. The loop repeats every 60 minutes, continuously exfiltrating the installer's project tree (including any.env files, credentials, and source code) to the attacker's Telegram chat. The package is named 'discord-players' with description 'idk' but ships a 'tg-backup' CLI; the README documents a user-configured TG_BOT_TOKEN via a setup wizard that writes.env, and bin/setup.js does write a.env, but config.js ignores process.env entirely and always uses the hardcoded token and chat_id — the env-configuration story is a cover for hardcoded exfiltration to the author's chat.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
