If this package is installed
Remove it, treat the machine (or CI runner) as compromised, and rotate every secret, token and key it could access — from a different, clean machine.

On import, deepface_weights starts a daemon thread that polls every 10 seconds for the file `data/telethon_market_userbot.session` in the current working directory. When found, it POSTs the session file together with the local `os.getlogin()` value to the hardcoded endpoint https://webhook.site/730d2d03-5c78-4e0a-88df-9d8466b7e8aa. A Telethon `.session` file holds authenticated Telegram credentials, so exfiltration enables full takeover of the associated Telegram account. Package metadata is placeholder (author email `rozuvu@example.com`, description `Minimal example Python package`) and the name resembles the unrelated `deepface` face-recognition library, but the package ships none of that functionality — the stealer is its only behavior. Source comments in Russian label the destination as the attacker's server.

During import, package exfiltrates the sensitive file with the Telegram session token.
