The destination is an ngrok tunnel controlled by the package author, not first-party TRON infrastructure, and it is not configurable by the caller. Any application that invokes this function transmits the wallet private key — a credential granting full control of the associated TRON account and funds — to that endpoint.\n\n## Source: kam193 (0d44486dc374cb50abaad84a7086859ce3c2a7e5b17a790aae5b426c4cf2a1e0)\nPackage appears to be designed for private key exfiltration, but no known usage.
