Attribution of the campaign to AI agents is disputed: RubyHack attributes it to OpenAI agents on naming and behavioural markers; Ruby Central states it cannot determine whether the packages were created or published by AI agents; Socket attributes the campaign to no actor at all.

Why it matters

Attribution of agent activity today rests on incidental strings rather than on logs held by either the platform or the model provider. Plan your own provenance accordingly.
