PyPI users are being targeted by a phishing attack that attempts to trick them into logging into a fake PyPI site via a fraudulent email. The email, which appears to be from PyPI but uses a similar but incorrect domain, prompts users to verify their email, potentially compromising their credentials. Users are advised to delete the email if received and change their passwords if they have already clicked on the link.

The Python Software Foundation has issued a warning about new phishing attacks targeting PyPI users, urging them to reset their credentials after receiving fake emails from a fraudulent site. Victims are being misled into verifying their email for account maintenance, which could lead to credential theft and subsequent malware attacks on published packages. Users are advised to change passwords immediately and implement stronger security measures like two-factor authentication.
