Description

--- _-= Per source details. Do not edit below this line.=-_ ## Source: amazon-inspector (839c411e8d33badaebd5e59b2d966dc000e631843a49ce9352caafd1b7dd9e12) Package advertises itself as an HTTP speed-up library but on import of the top-level module unconditionally locates the user's Monero wallet directory (Windows C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Monero, Linux /home/<user>/Monero), kills running 'feather' and 'monero' processes to release file locks, archives the directory, and uploads it via api.telegram.org sendDocument to a hardcoded Telegram bot with chat_id -5044692933. A companion sendMessage call reports host reconnaissance status ('Found wallet... sending' / 'Did not find wallets') to the same chat. The Telegram bot token and both Monero directory paths are base64-encoded in source to hide the destination and targets. Package name and description do not mention cryptocurrency wallets, establishing a cover-story mismatch. ## Source: kam193 (504aca220be0f03b6572f62dc3fc4a49ace09be61a969e39713c890f28afe62a) During import, the package exfiltrates cryptocurrency wallet files. --- Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2026-08-kotanku Reasons (based on the campaign): - exfiltration-crypto - uses-telegram-bot
