• The telnyx packages on PyPI have been compromised

    The SafeDep blog reports
    that compromised versions of the telnyx package have been found in the PyPI repository:

    Two versions of telnyx (4.87.1 and 4.87.2) published to
    PyPI on March 27, 2026 contain malicious code injected into
    telnyx/_client.py. The telnyx package averages over 1 million
    downloads per month (~30,000/day), making this a high-impact
    supply chain compromise. The payload downloads a second-stage
    binary hidden inside WAV audio files from a remote server, then
    either drops a persistent executable on Windows or harvests
    credentials on Linux/macOS.
