Description
The phonemeprobe package on PyPI version 0.1.0 is part of a malicious campaign that involves loader packages designed to download and execute remote malicious scripts. Although the package itself does not contain the payload, it acts as a delivery mechanism for malicious code. No credential access, outbound network activity, or installer-affecting behavior was detected in the shipped files, but the overall intent is clearly malicious.
