Avoid using all malicious instances of the @meme-sdk/trade package.
Overview
@meme-sdk/trade is a malicious package. This package contains malicious code, and its content was not yet removed from the official package manager. While this package might be attempting to impersonate a valid organization, there is no connection between that organization and this package authorship.
Malware Behavior
This package is linked to Contagious Interview campaign and the fraudulent IT Worker scam according to ReversingLabs. The attack uses a multi-layered approach, where the first layer packages don’t contain the malicious code, but import the second layer packages that contain the malicious functionality. The latter packages are disposable and easily replaced once detected or removed from npm.
