They are used to split the malicious action between dependencies and are not malicious alone, but are used together to: exfiltrate information through DNS, collect information about the processes and covering tracks by installing packages from local private repositories. Package nspack additionally notifies upon importing a domain known for malicious activity with the package and hostname. Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2026-03-geekennedy 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. - The malicious code is intentionally included in a dependency of the package
