    Summary: Malicious code in botnetv2 (PyPI)

    Details: Source: kam193 (c81380140d3b7a9d5dddf19a386bb1fc8b9b55044fefc32997fc3d2af9969fcb) When running the module, basic information about the user and its location are collected and sent to the author. This is hidden from the user as the package prints a message suggesting it's outdated. Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities. Campaign: 2024-09-botnetv2 Reasons (based on the campaign): - The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk. - A Telegram webhook is used to send collected data.
