## Source: kam193 (b0f8bc12f61546bde84dd1d7a64519fcdc55ce875b71f3d8d848d2d5daa2248d)
This is a copy of https://pypi.org/project/play-scraper/ with added a very questionable "telemetry": in scraper.py, L90 sends the user hostname, IP and the exact local ID of scraped application to the package author.

Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.


Campaign: 2024-09-old-google-play-store


Reasons (based on the campaign):


 - The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.


 - dependency-confusion


 - action-hidden-in-lib-usage


 - clones-real-package
