9 Malicious NuGet Packages Deliver Time-Delayed Destructive Payloads
Socket researchers discovered nine malicious NuGet packages that use time-delayed payloads to crash applications and corrupt industrial control systems.
The pyzstd module provides Python support for Zstandard, using
an API style similar to the bz2, lzma, and zlib modules.
[!WARNING]
Zstandard is now natively supported in Python’s standard library via the
compression.zstdmodule. For older Python versions, use thebackports.zstdlibrary as a fallback.We recommend new projects to use the standard library, and existing ones to consider migrating.
See
pyzstd's documentation for details and a migration guide.
FAQs

We found that pyzstd demonstrated a healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released less than a year ago. It has 1 open source maintainer collaborating on the project.
