    ZDNet[^]:

    These malicious packages - deploying cyberespionage backdoors and targeting Windows and Linux systems - were found circulating via the PyPI repository. Security experts expect the problem to continue.

    Was it spelled P-Y-T-H-O-N?

        A pernicious potpourri of Python packages in PyPI

        I liked that, sounds like an Adam West Batman villain talking.
