Kill Switch Hidden in npm Packages Typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar
Socket researchers found several malicious npm packages typosquatting Chalk and Chokidar, targeting Node.js developers with kill switches and data theft.
Contains the country codes from ISO 3166-1 based on the code based on:
https://github.com/deactivated/python-iso3166/
But also has the MCC and MNC codes based on the Wikipedia page:

As well as the latest released listing from ITU:

Note that MCC codes for a country can be:
::
$ pip install mobile-codes
::
>>> import mobile_codes
Lookup by Mobile Country Code (MCC)::
>>> mobile_codes.mcc("648")
[Country(name=u'Zimbabwe', alpha2='ZW', alpha3='ZWE', numeric='716', mcc='648')]
>>> mobile_codes.mcc("311")
[Country(name=u'Guam', alpha2='GU', alpha3='GUM', numeric='316', mcc=('310', '311')),
Country(name=u'United States', alpha2='US', alpha3='USA', numeric='840', mcc=('310', '311', '313', '316'))]
>>> mobile_codes.mcc("313")
[Country(name=u'United States', alpha2='US', alpha3='USA', numeric='840', mcc=('310', '311', '313', '316'))]
Lookup by name, alpha2, alpha3 (all case insensitive)::
>>> mobile_codes.alpha3("CAN")
Country(name=u'Canada', alpha2='CA', alpha3='CAN', numeric='124', mcc='302')
>>> mobile_codes.alpha2("CA")
Country(name=u'Canada', alpha2='CA', alpha3='CAN', numeric='124', mcc='302')
>>> mobile_codes.name('canada')
Country(name=u'Canada', alpha2='CA', alpha3='CAN', numeric='124', mcc='302')
Lookup operators by mcc (returns a list of all operators)::
>>> mobile_codes.operators('302')
[Operator(mcc='302', mnc='220', brand='Telus', operator=u'Telus'),
Operator(mcc='302', mnc='221', brand='Telus', operator=u'Telus'),...
Lookup operator by mcc and Mobile Network Code (MNC)::
>>> mobile_codes.mcc_mnc('722', '070')
Operator(mcc='722', mnc='070', brand='Movistar', operator=u'Movistar')
All lookups raise a KeyError if the requested value is not found.
If you want to do development on the library, follow these steps:
Added in MCC codes and a lookup.
Made completely lazy, no records generated or indexed until first asked for.
