GitHub still hosting malicious imitation software after three weeks
Original: GitHub has not removed malicious imitation software after 3 weeks
A developer reports that GitHub has failed for three weeks to remove malicious imitation software hosted on the platform, despite repeated reports. The post criticises the slow pace of GitHub's takedown process and warns that copycat repositories impersonating legitimate software can trick users into installing dangerous code. Commenters are debating how well Microsoft-owned GitHub handles abuse reports.
Why now: Frustration with GitHub's slow response to reported malicious repositories is resonating with developers concerned about supply-chain security.
