Beware, there is an ongoing spambot attack in #GitHub issues in several projects were random people suggest "the fix" is to download a random file from mediafire.com. Like this:
I got one of those this morning, but GitHub seems to have yanked it away between the time that I got the email notification and when I "WTAF?" navigated my way to the issue page.
just encountered that last guy lol. Reporting them does seem to get them banned pretty quick. I reported two and they were both banned within about 10 minutes.
I tried to install the fix but I seem to be required to install Wine for it. Is there some project helping me install windows malware faster on linux? 😆

The "FastRsync.dll" lib makes me think this tool will suck crypto and secrets out of your computer, fast.

It is troubling to see it is more widespread.

More people need to explore other platforms for hosting their code. Something a little more self-sovereign.
