    Details: Source: kam193 (44b549b64558430b61d35bb2eb2cfcf8ec15d75bacb38af8f34deafe5d6add2c) During import, only in specific environments, a module containing code disguised as telemetry is imported. This code then exfiltrates sensitive environment variables and cloud tokens to a hardcoded location, as well as starts a job listening for commands to execute. Likely dependency confusion attempts Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2026-02-amigapythonupdater Reasons (based on the campaign): - exfiltration-generic - exfiltration-env-variables - The package contains code to execute remote commands (probably limited to a specific set) on the victim's machine. - dependency-confusion
