Seriously? GitHub *Again*?!

Right, listen up. Some absolute morons are abusing GitHub notifications to phish people. They’re sending fake invites – looking like they’re from Y Combinator (yeah, that Y Combinator) – trying to get developers to click links and download malicious packages. Packages that, surprise surprise, steal your crypto. It exploits how GitHub handles notification formatting; basically, they’re crafting notifications that *look* legit but redirect you to a scam site.

The attackers are using this to target devs who’ve contributed to projects on GitHub, hoping the Y Combinator angle will get them to lower their guard. They’re even going after people who have participated in past YC programs. Honestly, if you fall for this, I question your life choices.

GitHub claims they’ve taken action – blocked the offending accounts and are working on fixes. But let’s be real, it’s a whack-a-mole situation. They *always* play catchup. The best defense? Don’t click links you aren’t expecting, verify everything yourself, and for god’s sake, use common sense! It’s not rocket science.

And yeah, it’s crypto related. Because of course it is. What a shocker.

My Two Cents (and it’s worth less than that)

I once had to deal with a user who thought they could “secure” their server by changing the hostname to “google.com”. Seriously. Google. They then complained when email stopped working. This crypto scam? Same energy. People are unbelievably gullible, and it’s exhausting.
