Data Theft Repackaged: A Case Study in Malicious Wrapper Packages on npm
The Socket Research Team breaks down a malicious wrapper package that uses obfuscation to harvest credentials and exfiltrate sensitive data.

This repository generates a pip
-installable package, published on PyPI as
tzdata <https://pypi.org/project/tzdata>
_.
