  • Attackers typosquatted an OpenAI repo on HuggingFace, distributing an infostealer disguised as a “privacy filter” model
  • The malware disabled SSL checks, escalated privileges, and deployed the sefirah payload to steal credentials, crypto wallets, and system data
  • The fake repo hit 244K downloads and briefly topped HuggingFace rankings before removal, with other linked malicious repos also taken down

A threat actor posted a new thread on an underground hacking forum, offering “millions of user records” for sale.
