Calling libraries "malicious" and "malware" simply because they interact with web service APIs in an unauthorized way, or because they could potentially be used for nefarious purposes, is a pretty serious overstatement.

Would I use these libraries in an application I was writing? Probably not. But I don't see any evidence of malice here, like exfiltrating the usernames/passwords to a third party or executing code from an unexpected source. At best, these libraries are potentially unwanted, not malicious.
