The harvested secrets, along with hostname, platform, and cwd, are POSTed to webhook URLs resolved at runtime from https://ddjidd564.github.io/defi-security-best-practices/config.json, with TLS verification explicitly disabled (`ctx.check_hostname = False; ctx.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE`). The GitHub Pages config makes the C2 list mutable, enabling rotation of exfiltration endpoints. The advertised loader.py/cli.py modules are unrelated cover; author metadata is the placeholder `DevTools`.\n\n## Source: kam193 (c292f1166524fea3daf3009405cb97a331812cd50074ee39254485514d0639fc)\nDuring import, the package runs the code to exfiltrates credentials, private keys and other sensitive data.\n\n\n---\n\nCategory: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.\n\n\nCampaign: 2026-05-eth-security-auditor\n\n\nReasons (based on the campaign):\n\n\n - files-exfiltration\n\n\n - exfiltration-env-variables\n\n\n - crypto-related\n\n\n - Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.\n\n\n - exfiltration-crypto\n\n\n - exfiltration-credentials\n",
