Which versions of erc20-scanner are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of erc20-scanner are flagged malicious: 1.0.0, 1.0.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate erc20-scanner if I installed it?

erc20-scanner establishes remote access, so treat any host that installed it as fully compromised. Isolate the machine, remove the package, rotate all credentials it could reach, and rebuild from a trusted image rather than cleaning in place — a backdoor may have planted additional persistence.

I already installed erc20-scanner — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If erc20-scanner 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.
