    During our further analysis, it was noted that the package was obfuscated using “Hyperion” and specially crafted to target hosts running Windows Operating Systems. Once the package is installed and executed on the victim’s host, it fetches a malicious piece of python code and saves it on the victim machine. Later the package tries to collect sensitive information such as cookies, saved passwords in a browser, saved cookies of gaming applications and steals financial information from crypto wallets. All the discovered data is saved inside 2 files named wppassw.txt and wpcook.txt. The saved data is later exfiltrated through a discord webhook API. Additionally, it also collected victim’s geo location based on the public IP address.
