Summary
Description of Campaign Threat actors have targeted Rust developers in a supply-chain attack that made use of a typo-squatted package URL to deliver the pen-testing tool Poseidon. The malicious package posed as a legitimate package of the same name "rust_decimal," but omitted the underscore character from the malicious package name. Although the final payload was Poseidon, the campaign objective is yet to be identified, but might be an attempt to infect multiple organizations through a supply chain. Our ATR Team gathers and analyzes information from multiple open and closed sources before disseminating intelligence reports. This campaign was researched by SentinelOne and shared publicly.

This step mitigates against triggering false positives and allows you to refine your configuration.
