GitHub still hosting malicious software imitation after three weeks
Original: GitHub has not removed malicious imitation software after 3 weeks
A developer reports that GitHub has failed to remove malicious imitation software from its platform despite reports submitted three weeks ago. The post argues the impersonating package poses a real risk to users who mistake it for the legitimate tool, and criticises GitHub's slow response to takedown requests. Discussion centres on how software hosting platforms handle abuse reports and protect developers from copycat attacks.
Why now: Frustration over GitHub's slow takedown process for reported malicious software is resonating with developers concerned about supply-chain security.
