According to Slow Fog's disclosure, a new variant of Shai-Hulud Hades has been found attacking PyPI. The malicious package drops a .pth file that executes automatically when Python starts, and checks if Bun is installed locally; if not installed, it downloads the official Bun binary from GitHub Releases, and then executes a multi-layer obfuscated JavaScript payload to steal credentials from GitHub, npm, AWS, and cloud services.

Slow Fog stated that this variant uses the same RSA public key and infrastructure as previous Shai-Hulud attacks, and has capabilities such as encrypted exfiltration, persistence, CI/CD injection, and GitHub Actions injection.
