Source: kam193 (152f27ebcd7a8c662ffcbfe69086e0a50e71f73993bc7d97ce3bb67896c8a4dc)

During importing, the code automatically starts a Telegram bot designed to download and save files locally upon a specific message in the channel. While this seems to have limited harm, this behavior is not disclosed and involved packages have typosquatting-like names. The core code is in the "platforms" package

Campaign: 2026-02-old-platforms

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • other

  • typosquatting
