After executing the remote binary, the code performs covering-tracks actions by removing the binary from disk, and - depending on version - modifying the package code. The dropper code is either a Python script, or a compiled binary with obfuscated location of the remote binary and config for it. --- Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.
