Which versions of ethrpc-accounts are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of ethrpc-accounts are flagged malicious: 0.9.1, 0.9.2. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate ethrpc-accounts if I installed it?

ethrpc-accounts 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 ethrpc-accounts — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If ethrpc-accounts 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 ethrpc-accounts part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — ethrpc-accounts is associated with the 2026-02-old-ethrpc-keys 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 ethrpc-accounts across my projects, lockfiles, and CI pipelines?
