Source: kam193 (d545ff7c3c178485cfb49d0028c4c808e67d0ee0fddcb4b7b195c943bb07d888)

The package pretends to be a fork of a legitimate Rust library and uses the identity of the original authors. During usage, the obfuscated code targets information held by Kanji/Iru security tools and exfiltrates basic informations to typosquated domain.

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

Campaign: 2026-05-apkeep
