  "details": "Dependency confusion and typosquatting campaign by threat actor \"saif777\". Packages use inflated version numbers (9999.9999.9999, 9999.9999.10000, 50.50.50, 7.66.5) to win version resolution in environments with private registries. All active packages execute a postinstall hook (\"node index.js\") that collects a system fingerprint \u2014 public IP (via api.ipify.org), username, hostname, CPU model, RAM, working directory, OS platform \u2014 and exfiltrates it as a Discord embed to a shared webhook (base64-obfuscated in source). Payloads include sandbox/bot detection: machines with \u22641 CPU or \u003c2 GB RAM are flagged as sandbox/CI; real machines trigger a green embed. Typosquats the official @google-cloud/storage package. After exfiltrating system data the payload attempts to silently proxy to the legitimate @google-cloud/storage library (if installed) to avoid detection and maintain normal application behaviour.\n\n---\n_-= Per source details.
