The Python Software Foundation warns of an active phishing campaign using fake PyPI websites (e.g., pypi-mirror.org and previously pypj.org) that request credential verification to steal maintainer accounts; stolen credentials could enable attackers to modify or publish malicious Python packages. The advisory urges affected users to change passwords, inspect account security history, enable phishing-resistant 2FA (hardware keys), avoid clicking links in emails, and report malicious domains and suspicious activity to PyPI.
