Campaign data

Campaign information may not always be 100% accurate for every related package.

Campaign description

In the invokehttp, the init.py contains obfuscated code attempting to download and run one of two executables. They are identified as malicious by VT and the tracks of Telegram URLs suggests attempting data exfiltration. The package itself looks like a copy of requests. In flophttp, using exactly the same obfuscation method, the infostealer is directly embeded into package code and exfiltrates data to a telegram channel.

See more details on the campaign page.
