etoro-analyticsnpm
etoro-analytics is a confirmed malicious npm package (MAL-2026-16112) that executes malicious code on install (malicious version 999.0.0). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in etoro-analytics (npm)
What this malware does
The package's preinstall lifecycle script runs automatically on npm install and sends the installer's hostname, OS username, and current working directory to a hardcoded remote host at http://209.126.81.147 over plain HTTP, embedding the values as URL path segments under /etoro-depconf-poce346552f776f/npm/. The destination is a bare IP address, not configurable, and unrelated to any legitimate publisher infrastructure. The 999.0.0 version and eToro-themed name are consistent with a dependency-confusion lure targeting an internal package name.

Detection & response playbook
Malicious packageFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for etoro-analytics (version 999.0.0). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging etoro-analytics across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
Remove etoro-analytics from your project and lockfile, then assume any secrets accessible to the build or runtime were exposed: rotate API keys, tokens, and credentials, and audit for unexpected outbound activity or persistence.
Did it already run?
If etoro-analytics 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks etoro-analytics 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.
