The fake Python package website hosted the popular tool Colorama with some malware added on. The code is actually just a short line that's been appended to the second line but with tons of spaces so ...

As our hunt against malicious Python packages continues, Imperva Threat Research recently discovered an attempt to masquerade Fade Stealer malware as a nondescript package, Colorama. Why Colorama?

PyPI halted new users and projects while it fended off supply-chain attack Automation is making attacks on open source code repositories harder to fight.

While they aren’t checking each line of code of every project, they are ensuring that “colorama” gets packaged instead of “colourama”. In contrast to PyPi’s 156,750 Python modules ...

Devs unknowingly use “malicious” modules snuck into official Python repository Code packages available in PyPI contained modified installation scripts.

There were multiple prongs to this remarkably complicated attack: clones of popular Python packages such as Colorama, a doppelganger or typosquatted domain for Python packages, and code obfuscation.
