How to Protect Yourself
- Verify the source: Only install packages from official repositories and check ratings, download counts, and last update date.
- Analyze the code: Before installing an unfamiliar package, review its source code on GitHub or within PyPI itself.
- Use virtual environments: Isolate project dependencies to minimize potential damage.
- Update your tools: Use the latest versions of pip and security tools like
