myasicapiPyPI
Malicious code in myasicapi (PyPI) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.
What this malware does
The code and related Github project promise to monitor hardware cryptominers. However, the code additionally hides two malicious capabilities functionalities:
- acting as an attacker-controller proxy,
- reversed shell to the attacker-controller endpoint.
They start automatically together with the promissed simple monitoring.
Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.
Campaign: 2026-02-old-myasicapi
Reasons (based on the campaign):
-
The package contains code to create a reverse shell, allowing an attacker to execute any commands on the victim's machine.
-

Detection & response playbook
Credential / info stealerFind it
Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for myasicapi (version 0.2.5). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging myasicapi across your stack and pipelines.
If you installed it — respond
myasicapi 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 myasicapi was ever installed, its post-install/runtime payload may have already executed. O3's L7 egress monitoring and runtime eBPF sensors detect the credential exfiltration or command-and-control callback after install and block the malicious outbound channel, so you catch and contain the actual compromise — not just the presence of the package.
How O3 protects you
O3 blocks myasicapi before install through its supply-chain scanner, and if it has already run, detects and severs the exfiltration or C2 callback at runtime through L7 egress monitoring and eBPF.

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