Note

I opened a ticket asking for clarification on the repo. On the next visit I noticed that the 'Isssue' queue had been disabled.

I have reported this to GH. I have encountered malware distribution like this in the past, including one that fraudulently racked up $150k in AWS charges to my then-employer. GH takes action very quickly to remove the account.

In the future, I wouldn't hesitate to report fraudulent accounts to GH for malware or misrepresentation. In the highly unlikely event this is in error, they can appeal to have their account restored.

The repo is missing. So looks like this issue is foxed. Thanks!
