An active phishing campaign against crates.io users started emailing people from crates.ws about an hour ago. Don't click the links; tell your friends. #RustLang

Here's another crates.io security advisory, again many thanks to Socket!
Malicious crates `finch-rust` and `sha-rust` have been removed; they appeared to try to exfiltrate credentials stored in local files.
Our official announcement: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/12/05/crates.io-malicious-crates-finch-rust-and-sha-rust/
Socket's blog post with more technical analysis: https://socket.dev/blog/malicious-crate-mimicking-finch-exfiltrates-credentials
#RustLang
Also we're having discussions in Zulip in `t-crates-io
> how to announce takedowns?` about possible changes to these announcements.

Crates.io security advisory: Socket alerted us to the malicious crates `evm-units` and `uniswap-utils`, which we have removed.

There's an active phishing campaign happening against crates.io. rustfoundation dot dev is not the foundation's or the project's domain. We're looking at our options for takedowns.

I don't want to spend my money on products with AI. You know what I do want to spend money on? A small smart phone that fits in my hand paired with pants that have pockets guaranteed to fit said phone in them. Please and thank you.

I got an email 2 hours ago that my request was approved, so like 15 hrs after submitting the form. I checked immediately after getting that email and my info was still on the site-- but I just rechecked and my information is indeed gone, so the whole process worked!

my information was on the site, I was able to submit the form and did an email verification, and now I have a request tracking ID and it says my request status is "Waiting for request approval". So it appeared to work!
