Threat Actors | • Unknown malicious actors (targeting PyPI users). |
Campaign Overview | • Malicious Python packages (Zebo-0.1.0 and Cometlogger-0.1) discovered on PyPI. • These packages steal sensitive data (keystrokes, screenshots) and establish persistence mechanisms. |
Target Regions (Victims) | • PyPI users globally, including developers relying on PyPI packages. |
Methodology | • Keylogging, screenshot capturing, data exfiltration, and establishing persistence via startup scripts. • Uses obfuscation techniques to evade detection. |
Product Targeted | • PyPI package management system. • Developers and their systems using the malicious Python packages. |
Malware Reference | • Zebo-0.1.0 • Cometlogger-0.1 |
Tools Used | • Python libraries: pynput (for keylogging), ImageGrab (for screenshot capturing). |
Vulnerabilities Exploited | • Exploitation of PyPI package repository. |
TTPs | • Data exfiltration via remote servers. • Obfuscation to avoid detection. • Creation of persistent scripts in the startup folder. • Dynamic webhook and anti-VM detection. |
Attribution | • No specific threat group identified. |
Recommendations | • Disconnect from the internet and isolate infected systems. • Use reputable antivirus software. • Reformat systems if necessary. • Use caution when installing packages from PyPI. |
