Description Daniel Griscom 2020-04-03 13:09:42 UTC
It isn't clear from the package description what the "sysdig" package is, so I went to the url http://sysdig.org listed in the description. Unfortunately, that shows a page with a "The domain sysdig.org may be for sale" header, and then quickly bounces through several other domains, landing in a probably-dangerous website offering a "security check":

"By clicking the button below you'll go through a standard security check, after which you will be redirected to Chrome store and will be given the option to install Secured Search extension. This extension will offer you a safer web search experience by changing your default search provider."

At the least the bad URL should be removed; best would be to redirect it to an available website that describes the package (or removal of the package altogether).
