Campaign data¶
Campaign information may not always be 100% accurate for every related package.
Campaign description
Very suspicious packages, looking like an attempt to impersonate Akamai. During import, there is a call to canary token URL, but no other visible malicious activity. They contain some small helpers that can be useful, but do not look like a normal SDK.
Packages were created by a different account than any previous official Akamai packages (e.g. https://pypi.org/project/edgegrid-python/) and the corresponding GitHub account (https://github.com/akamai-packages) although it claims to be the official one, is 1) user not an org, 2) different from the Akamai organisation hosting previous Akamai repositories (https://github.com/akamai)
