>GitLab's Vulnerability Research team has identified a sophisticated cryptocurrency theft campaign targeting the Bittensor ecosystem through typosquatted Python packages on PyPI. Our investigation began when GitLab's automated package monitoring system flagged suspicious activity related to popular Bittensor packages. We discovered multiple typosquatted variations of legitimate Bittensor packages, each designed to steal cryptocurrency from unsuspecting developers and users.
