February 12, 2026

This attempts to typosquat the existing crate finch_cli to steal credentials from local files.

The malicious crate had 1 version published on 2025-12-08 and had been downloaded 18 times. There were no crates depending on this crate on crates.io.

Thanks to Matthias Zepper of NGI Sweden for reporting this to the crates.io team!
