This malicious campaign is based on an attacker combining various techniques to quietly attack the software supply chain, especially targeting the Python ecosystem. The campaign cleverly spread a harmful dependency through a fake Python infrastructure, linking it to well-known GitHub projects and official Python packages.
Mohammed Dief, a Python developer and victim of the campaign, provided a disturbing account of the attack’s stealth and impact. Dief saw a strange error on his laptop, which was the first clue that his computer was hacked.
