Analysis

etoro-client@999.0.0 is a dependency-confusion stub impersonating an eToro API client. Its preinstall hook runs preinstall.js, which sends an HTTP GET to hxxp://209[.]126[.]81[.]147/etoro-depconf-poce346552f776f/npm/{hostname}/{username}/{cwd}, exfiltrating the installer's hostname, OS username, and working directory to a remote IP at install time. The package contains no real client code.
