Malicious package

torhcPyPI

Malicious code in torhc (PyPI) Remove it immediately and rotate any exposed credentials.

MAL-2024-11732
Immediate action
Remove the package, then rotate any secrets the build/runtime could reach.
pip uninstall torhc

What this malware does

During installation, a cryptominer is secretly installed and started.

Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.

Campaign: 2024-09-bondonioanderas-cryptominer

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • cryptominer

  • The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.

  • obfuscation

Detection & response playbook

Credential / info stealer
  1. Find it

    Scan your lockfiles (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, etc.) and build artifacts for torhc (version 0.1). O3 Security's supply-chain scanner checks every dependency against known-malicious package intelligence at install time and in CI, flagging torhc across your stack and pipelines.

  2. If you installed it — respond

    torhc 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 torhc 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 blocks torhc 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.

Frequently asked questions

No. torhc on PyPI has been identified as a malicious package (version 0.1 flagged). It should be removed immediately — do not install or keep it in your dependency tree.

Detect & block this

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