Attackers weaponize GitHub issues in supply chain campaign

Original: Attackers turn GitHub issues into supply chain campaign against 61 public repos

Attackers opened issues across 61 public GitHub repositories in under an hour, using the issue tracker as a vector for a supply chain campaign. The incident shows how trusted developer platforms can be abused at scale to distribute malicious content, prompting discussion among developers about spam filtering, automation abuse, and how open-source maintainers should respond to coordinated attacks.

Why now: A fast-moving abuse of GitHub's issue system touched 61 repositories, raising alarm about supply chain security for open source.
