Researchers have documented a campaign abusing GitHub repositories themed as OSINT tools, GPT utilities, and developer resources to deliver PyStoreRAT, a modular, multi-stage remote access trojan.
The operation leverages delayed malicious commits, minimal loader stubs, reputation manipulation, and HTA-based execution to reduce early detection. In parallel, a separate RAT campaign demonstrates region- and language-aware targeting logic.
These cases underscore evolving tradecraft around trust abuse and script-based implants.
How are you adapting repository vetting and execution controls in your environment?

Managing GitHub security across all organizations and repositories within a company can be challenging. Mis-configured settings, hard-coded secrets, and outdated dependencies often go unnoticed, creating critical security gaps. In this session, we introduce an open source tool built to help companies secure their GitHub environments at scale. The tool runs security posture checks across organization and repository levels, scans for hard-coded secrets, performs Software Composition Analysis (SCA), validates security rule sets, detects misconfigurations, and generates a single comprehensive report. The report not only identifies risks but also provides actionable remediation steps, helping teams prioritize and address issues effectively. By using this tool, companies gain a complete view of their GitHub security posture across all organizations and repositories, making it easier to maintain strong security without adding complexity. This talk is also an open invitationRead More
Red Hat’s GitHub breach was more than a data leak—it was a wake-up call. A cyber crew snagged 570GB of critical code and sensitive info from giants like the U.S. Navy and Bank of America. Can we really afford to be this vulnerable?

🚨 Fake Malwarebytes, LastPass & 70+ brands abused on GitHub to spread Atomic Stealer (AMOS).
🔹 Fake repos + SEO + sponsored ads = malware installs
🔹 Copy-paste terminal commands (curl … | bash) deliver the payload instantly
🔹 Brands targeted include password managers, fintech apps, and dev tools
⚠️ Another reminder: only trust official developer sites.
💬 Do you think GitHub & Google should be held more accountable for catching these campaigns earlier?
