Spam packages on PyPI #188

Closed z3ntu closed 2 years ago

z3ntu commented 4 years ago

Most packages from this user https://pypi.org/user/007gzs/ look like name-squatting known/short names; where the packages don't contain anything except the setup.py file which doesn't do anything nefarious either.

The following packages don't seem to contain any code:

The rest of the packages from that user (basically the ones with a Project description on PyPI) seems to contain legitimate code.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to report something like this but I couldn't find a better place.

Any thoughts on these?

Thanks for the report, most of these have been removed as namesquatting. In the future, please contact admin@pypi.org instead.
