0x40k<p>Hey everyone, does this sound familiar? You install a Python package and suddenly feel like you've been robbed blind? 😂</p><p>Right now, there's a nasty campaign going on targeting PyPI, and it's misusing "time" utilities to swipe cloud credentials. Get this – it's already had over 14,000 downloads! The malware hides in packages that are *supposed* to just check the time. But instead, they're snatching cloud keys (AWS, Azure, the works) and sending them straight to the bad guys.</p><p>Honestly, it reminds me of a pentest we did where we *almost* missed a similar camouflage trick. Seriously creepy! So, heads up: Double-check your dependencies, run those scans, review your cloud configurations, and above all, be suspicious! And hey, just a friendly reminder: automated scans are no substitute for a manual pentest!</p><p>Have you run into anything similar? What tools are you using to beef up your security?
