Overview
skrill-payments is a malicious package.
This package contains malicious code, and its content was 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. Specifically, the package conceals an information stealer designed to exfiltrate developer secrets. A malicious actor published a coordinated cluster of tampered packages to npm and PyPI, typosquatting popular secure payment applications like Paysafe, Skrill, and Neteller.
