Which versions of backtradingbot are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of backtradingbot are flagged malicious: 0.1.1, 0.1.2, 0.1.3, 0.1.4, 0.1.5. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate backtradingbot if I installed it?

backtradingbot 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.

I already installed backtradingbot — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If backtradingbot was installed, its post-install payload may already have run. Removing the package does not undo that — check outbound connections and credential use from the install window onward.

Is backtradingbot part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — backtradingbot is associated with the 2025-07-backtradingbot campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

What this malware does

Running the installed entry point downloads and executes remote code. During the analysis, the code was switching to websockets, adding a startup script and downloading next stages, which finally looked for browser and crypto wallet data. Currently, they seem not to attempt exfiltration of very sensitive data but rather a presence of different webbrowsers and wallets.

It uses the same remote domain as campaign 2025-07-db-indicator, but significantly different payload.

Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.

Campaign: 2025-07-backtradingbot

Reasons (based on the campaign):

Downloads and executes a remote malicious script.
