System data was exfiltrated during attack, but an anonymous person says it was a research project gone wrong
An unknown attacker used the PyPI code repository to get developers to download a compromised PyTorch dependency that included malicious code designed to steal system data.
However, the extent of the attack is unclear. A person taking responsibility for the incident said it was part of a security research project that went awry. They apologized, saying they erred in not making this clear and that they've deleted all data that was exfiltrated.
The sensitive data includes nameservers, hostnames, the current username and working directory name. In addition, it accessed a range of files, including /etc/hosts, /etc/password/, the first 1,000 files in $HOME/*, $HOME/.gitconfig, and $HOME/.ssh*.
