GitHub still hosting malicious imitation software after three weeks
Original: GitHub has not removed malicious imitation software after 3 weeks
A software developer reports that GitHub has failed to remove a malicious imitation of their product despite repeated takedown requests over three weeks. The clone distributes harmful software while trading on the original's name, and the case has drawn attention to how slowly GitHub responds to abuse reports, frustrating independent developers who rely on the platform.
Why now: Developers are concerned about GitHub's slow response to malware and impersonation reports, which affects trust in the platform.
