  Sure, and they have been for decades. They’re still not that common though.

  What Python package almost got you?

  I wonder if I’ve been hit but just haven’t noticed because I tend to run things in containers.

    The malicious binary would upload files ranging in size up to 99,999 bytes and send the contents to a specified domain.

      That is scary. But it does require using a custom repository, so hopefully few were hit.

      We use poetry, enough which allows specifying additional package repos and it looks like we’d be susceptible to the same attack, but for our internal package index. Looks like I have something to fix this week, thanks for the link!
