I recently saw an entire org set up with individual repos that were clearly meant to be found in search results for stuff like “comparison tool” (I don’t remember my exact search). It would then lead to a repo that just had a license and readme. The readme would be a full readme that explained the software but linked elsewhere to get it. The link was clearly a malware or phishing attempt.

Lmao. They couldn't even copy code from a random MIT licensed project? Sometimes I think these scammers aren't even trying
