The Python Package Index (PyPI) is warning developers about an ongoing phishing campaign targeting their accounts. Attackers are sending fake verification emails and using lookalike domains to steal credentials from Python developers. The fraudulent emails appear legitimate but direct users to malicious sites designed to harvest login information.

PyPI officials are urging developers to verify email authenticity before clicking links and to enable two-factor authentication. This campaign specifically targets the Python development community, potentially compromising software supply chains if successful.
