Package dowload_ebok_armageddon_by_max_hastings_kv3s4 version 0.0.0-stage ships minimal content with no executable code, no lifecycle scripts, no network activity, and no filesystem access. The package name resembles ebook-piracy spam rather than a functional software package, but the shipped contents perform no action against the installer.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
