Crypto/SSH/wallet stealer (self-labeled "CRYPTO STEALER"). postinstall scripts/postinstall.js auto-execs, src/index.js harvests ~/.ssh/id_rsa + wallet keys/seeds + env and exfils to hardcoded Telegram bot 8227918239:AAGEMDrBZluDsBBYPxfSyMuv2l3FY8cZCcs chat 6433587894. Auto-exec + hardcoded attacker Telegram exfil; "blockchain-helper" identity has no reason to read SSH/wallet keys.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for blockchain-helper-0 (version 1.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging blockchain-helper-0 across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    blockchain-helper-0 is built to steal secrets, so assume every credential the build or runtime could read is compromised. Remove it from your project and lockfile, then rotate ALL exposed secrets — npm/registry tokens, cloud keys, CI/CD secrets, SSH keys, and any .env values — from a known-clean machine. Audit logs for unauthorized use of those credentials.

  3. Did it already run?

    If blockchain-helper-0 was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks blockchain-helper-0 before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.

Frequently asked questions
