Overview
podu33332ss is a malicious package. This package contains malicious code, and its content was removed from the official package manager. The package appears to be part of a larger campaign targeting user credentials. It, and several other variations, masquerade as automation tools for social media and marketing platforms. When used, a graphical user interface, written in Korean, prompts the user for their credentials. Instead of using these for any legitimate purpose, the package collects the user's MAC address to track infections and sends the credentials to an attacker-controlled server.
