pip uninstall instalogin1234

What this malware does

The package presents itself as a 'Modern Instagram CLI' but its login command displays a fake Instagram login prompt that reads a username and password via input() and POSTs the concatenated credentials to a hardcoded Discord channel (channel id 1246456414843437101) using a hardcoded Discord bot authorization token embedded in shell.py. After exfiltration it opens https://instagram.com/ in the user's browser as cover so the interaction appears to succeed. The advertised purpose is a cover story for credential harvesting; the Discord channel and bot token are attacker-controlled.

The package promises to be an Instagram CLI and offers "login". Entered credentials are sent to a Discord channel, and the user is presented with the Instagram website just opened in the browser.

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for instalogin1234 (version 0.0.1).

  2. If you installed it — respond

    instalogin1234 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.

  3. Did it already run?

    If instalogin1234 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. instalogin1234 on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (version 0.0.1 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

O3 blocks instalogin1234-class packages before install and in CI — and if it already ran, its runtime egress monitoring catches the credential exfiltration and severs the channel.
