The VMConnect campaign used malicious PyPI packages that impersonated legitimate Python tools including vConnector, eth-tester, and databases. ReversingLabs found that VMConnect's __init__.py decoded and executed Base64 content, then entered a loop that contacted command-and-control infrastructure for additional encoded commands. The operators created a purpose-built PyPI account and matching GitHub repository to make the package appear legitimate, showing deliberate open-source supply-chain tradecraft. The investigation found code similarities between VMConnect and the malicious py_QRcode package, leading researchers to Lazarus, while the excerpt also lists C2 domains and numerous SHA-1 hashes tied to the campaign.
