Which versions of helloharry123p are malicious?

The following PyPI versions of helloharry123p are flagged malicious: 0.1.0, 0.1.1. Treat any of these as compromised.

How do I remediate helloharry123p if I installed it?

helloharry123p 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 helloharry123p — how do I know if it already compromised me?

If helloharry123p 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 helloharry123p part of a known attack campaign?

Yes — helloharry123p is associated with the GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest campaign. Packages in the same campaign often share infrastructure and payloads, so check whether any related packages are also in your dependency tree.
