    Summary: Malicious code in chrome-stealth (PyPI)

    Details: Source: kam193 (a97fed2b45bf12e5c4ba72089cdc2a1aff4ef42cb5eed242565268439946041a) By using the package, the computer is attached to participate in a proxy network and share its IP and bandwidth. This is clearly stated, but the package has no real functionality besides that. Additionally, the stated proxy network seems extremely shady: the domain was just registered, is closely similar to a long-existing service, and offers residential proxy only for cryptocurrencies. The company mentioned in the package information does not have a website, and the proposed way to opt-out does not work. Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers. Campaign: 2026-01-ambertransit Reasons (based on the campaign): - other - modify-system-without-consent
