It also packages and uploads Telegram Desktop tdata, indicating targeted credential/session/data harvesting.\n\nThe malicious crate had 9 versions published on 2026-04-09 that had a total of 6346 downloads. There were no crates depending on this crate on crates.io.\n\nThanks to [Socket.dev](https://socket.dev/) and [sitsh](https://sit.sh/) for detecting and reporting this to the crates.io team!",
