  1. 2026-09-25 / PROJECTSGitHub left a malware repo impersonating Easy Data Transform up for 3 weeks, then removed it minutes after an HN postThe developer reported the fake repo, which reused their product name and logo and shipped a malicious macOS .dmg, on 2026-08-31 and sent more evidence on 2026-09-10. They received only an automated reply. The repo came down about 10 minutes after their 2026-09-24 post reached the HN front page (258 points).
