mouseparty

mouseparty provides collection and enrichment infrastructure for lightweight security sensors. This infrastructure is made available to select ethical security researchers.

Infrastructure

• (inactive) package.mouseparty.org - collected package information and records the source IP for HTTPS requests sent to it

So What?

If you have seen requests to mouseparty infrastructure, one of your systems or a system in your organization has interacted with a mouseparty project, likely on accident (ex. running a typosquatted program). One of the researchers affiliated with mouseparty is reporting some metadata to track, analyze, and report security issues on a best-effort basis.

To reiterate, no security compromise has occurred. You can block this infrastructure, but we don’t recommend it, as it won’t impact your security posture at all.
