It appeared to be typosquatting existing crate
<code>polymarket-client-sdk</code> (clients vs client)
and attempting to steal credentials from local files.
The malicious crate had 6 versions published on 2026-02-05 and had been downloaded only 59 times. There were no crates depending on this crate on crates.io.
Thanks to Socket.dev for detecting and reporting this to the crates.io team!
