What I meant by this sentence is that nobody has deployed this method maliciously/intentionally in a package on any repository that I've heard of - they have all so far been clearly marked as dangerous "proof of concept" packages/instructions, not meant to trick you. In other words, it's not "in the wild" as a malicious tweak that people might randomly run into right now. I'd welcome revising this sentence with alternate phrasing that makes this more clear.
