Which versions of ethereuim are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of ethereuim are flagged malicious: 1.0.0. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate ethereuim if I installed it?

ethereuim 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 ethereuim — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If ethereuim 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 ethereuim part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — ethereuim is associated with the RLMA-2024-08214, funcaptcha-ru campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.

How do I find ethereuim across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?

Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for ethereuim (version 1.0.0).
