minecraftaccfinderPyPI
Advisory published Updated
minecraftaccfinder is a confirmed malicious PyPI package (MAL-2026-17809) that steals credentials and exfiltrates sensitive data (malicious versions 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2…). Do not install it — remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
Malicious code in minecraftaccfinder (PyPI)
What this malware does
minecraftaccfinder was published to PyPI on 2026-10-12 in six versions within 23 minutes (0.1.2 at 01:05 UTC, 2.0.0, 0.3.0, 0.3.1, 0.4.0, 3.0.0 at 01:28 UTC) with no description, author, README or project page. The package consists of one module, minecraftaccfinder/init.py (about 87 KB, 88 functions), installed as the console command minecraftaccfinder. When the command runs it reads the saved logins and session cookies of the browser profiles on the machine, collects the machine's public IP address and account identifiers, and posts the collected data to a chat-service webhook hard-coded in the module. Nothing in the package provides the functionality the name suggests. Versions 0.3.0, 0.3.1 and 3.0.0 were analyzed and carry the same module; 3.0.0 differs from 0.3.1 only in the webhook value. 0.1.2 and 2.0.0 have the same size and were published from the same account minutes apart but were not examined individually, and 0.4.0 is a 949-byte placeholder. The project has since been removed from PyPI.
During import, the code installs a persistent inforstealer / RAT. The code first exfiltrates multiple credentials (targeting especially Gmail, Roblox, Discord, and Minecraft) and then opens a port and listens for further C2 commands. It also includes a keylogger, periodic screenshot sending, advanced extracting credentials from browsers, and some detection evasion techniques. In multiple versions the code seems not to be fully functional
Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Search your lockfiles and build artifacts for minecraftaccfinder (8 malicious versions).
If you installed it — respond
minecraftaccfinder 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.
Did it already run?
If minecraftaccfinder 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.

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