This package executes code from malicious dependency, which hides code downloading script, which then downloads and executes a heavily obfuscated final stage. The remote stages are hosted on a domain presenting a suspicious-looking corporate website. The downloaded code establishes persistence e.g. as "anymeetly-cameradriver" systemd service.
