A .png image is downloaded and saved in the OS&#8217;s temp directory, with another function in the judyb package used to extract the hidden code.<\/p>\n<p>Other code is then fetched to ensure persistence through multiple reboots and to deliver the polymorphic malware, where different code is introduced after every second or third-stage URL download, according to Harush. He added that it&#8217;s the first time he&#8217;s seen polymorphic malware used in software supply chain attacks.<\/p>\n<p>One of the URLs redirects to a link inviting others to join the attacker&#8217;s Discord server, which is managed by a single Discord user. Further investigation found an account on the Steam gaming marketplace and a YouTube channel linked to the Discord user, Harush wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Checkmarx analysts were able to track the WASP operator as he moved across different user accounts and notified PyPI of new activities. The crook claimed he was working on an &#8220;exe version&#8221; of the malware and was seen this week with a new identity \u2013 PyPI user &#8220;halt&#8221; \u2013 uploading typosquatting packages

which is stealing GitHub Stars from a legitimate package to make the malicious one look popular.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It seems this attack is ongoing, and whenever the security team of Python deletes his packages, he quickly maneuvers and creates a new identity or simply uses a different name,&#8221; Harush wrote. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
