The Bitcoin Python library, bitcoinlib, was recently targeted by wallet-draining malware, according to security researchers from ReversingLabs. Malicious packages named 'bitcoinlibdbfix' and 'bitcoinlib-dev' were designed to mimic fixes for transaction errors, with the intent of stealing sensitive data from users. These packages were involved in GitHub discussions but were eventually exposed by the community. Following the exposure, the malicious packages have been removed, reducing the risk for developers using the library. This incident underscores the importance of verifying the integrity of open-source contributions to prevent similar security threats in the future.
