A new set of malicious Python packages has slithered their way to the Python Package Index repository with the ultimate aim of stealing sensitive information from compromised developer systems. The packages masquerade as seemingly innocuous obfuscation tools, but harbor a piece of malware called BlazeStealer, Checkmarx said in a report shared with The Hacker News.
At the fraud trial of former FTX head Sam Bankman-Fried, prosecutors presented the jury with Python code for the FTX backend that allowed flagged client accounts to spend money they didn't have on the cryptocurrency exchange. Multiple accounts associated with Alameda Research, the hedge fund controlled by Bankman-Fried that allegedly used billions of dollars of customer deposits in FTX as a slush fund, were flagged thus, according to reported accounts of the testimony of FTX co-founder Gary Wang.
A malicious campaign that researchers observed growing more complex over the past half year, has been planting on open-source platforms hundreds of info-stealing packages that counted about 75,000 downloads. The campaign has been monitored since early April by analysts at Checkmarx's Supply Chain Security team, who discovered 272 packages with code for stealing sensitive data from targeted systems.
