  "details": "The `chrono_anchor` crate attempted to exfiltrate `.env` files to a server that\nwas in turn impersonating the legitimate `timeapi.io` service.\n\nThe malicious crate had 1 version published on 2026-03-04 approximately 6 days\nbefore removal and had no evidence of actual downloads. There were no crates\ndepending on this crate on crates.io.\n\nThanks to [Socket][socket] for reporting this crate. They have published\n[a blog post][blog] about this recent campaign, and we advise users of\n`timeapi.io` to exercise caution when using crates to interact with that\nservice.\n\n[socket]: https://socket.dev\n[blog]: https://socket.dev/blog/5-malicious-rust-crates-posed-as-time-utilities-to-exfiltrate-env-files",
