In a groundbreaking development completely unrelated to anything that has ever happened before, malicious packages have been discovered on RubyGems and PyPI, casually impersonating important tools. These packages, much like your last blind date, promised fascinating features but delivered only disappointment and a side order of theft.

Reports suggest that these packages, purportedly active since March 2023, were as subtle as a bull in a china shop. They allegedly posed as automation tools for social media, blogging, or messaging to stealthily pilfer credentials without even the common decency to steal something more interesting, like your carefully curated collection of cat memes.

In a stunning twist, this revelation has forced the platforms to implement additional security changes, making it harder for actual developers to upload legitimate packages. But hey, at least now you know that the next time you download a package that promises to optimize your blog, it might just optimize your regret instead!
