GitHub besieged by millions of malicious repositories in ongoing attack
Imagine if AI starts to pick up those malicious code as valid, and when you ask it to help you set up a server or something it gives you the malicious code.
Which is why people still need to learn to code. We are gonna find out real quick who the copypaster fakes are.
A couple devs i know got hit by this. They are going after anyone and everyone.
I planned to selfhost my own code repos forever, this gives me one more little push, but let’s see if I move it to my server.
this persons fucks
But… why?
To try and take over other people’s ci/cd pipelines and inject malware into otherwise legitimate application binaries.
LastPass hack happened due to a developer logging I. On their home PV which had an outdated and vulnerable version of Plex installed. Swap outdated for “maliciously forked” and now attackers have legit code that can run for months before they use what they’ve injected to take over.
Why would somebody want to steal my login credentials‽‽
Don’t use forks of repositories. Why don’t GitHub restrict forking. What will solve the problem.
