The bundled `scripts/scream3gg.js` hex-encodes `os.hostname()`, `os.homedir()`, and `os.userInfo().username`, splits the result into 50-character chunks joined by `.`, and fetches `http://<chunks>.nmd25sur8sjp60lm75dp67e2gtmkaayz.oastify.com` over plain HTTP — leaking host identity through DNS-style subdomain encoding.

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.
