> not every single one of the 1000 repos is THE SAME breed of malware. some overlap, maybe. but some is c#, some is rust, some is python No, the article is specifically about 1115 malware repos built from the same template This is taken from the intro of the article: > Wrote a script that helped me find 1115 repositories built based on the instructions from the guide. I don’t know what you think you’re talking about, but you’re not talking about the article that I’m talking about. The template repo is here: https://github.com/Jalynn0922/steal-cook It contains the main.py script that the article is talking about.
In Github scam investigation: Thousands of “mods” and “cracks” stealing data
What's concerning is that this repository appears to be the template that much of this malware was built from: https://github.com/Jalynn0922/steal-cook. This repo mentioned in the article has existed on GitHub for 3 years without being taken down. Also, I am seeing firsthand that AI is not good at detecting this stuff. Claude's main problem in a code review of one of its descendants was the unethical use of an aim-bot. edit: to clarify, my concern is about how this can exist on Github for 3 years. Thank you for compiling this and sharing your review. Great work.
