Hackers Hide Gitvenom Malware In Fake Github Repositories Threat actors are leveraging public github repositories to host malicious payloads and distribute them via amadey as part of a campaign observed in april 2025. Security researchers have uncovered a sophisticated malware as a service (maas) operation which exploits public github repositories to compromise its targets.
Malicious Visual Studio Projects On Github Push Keyzetsu Malware Researchers from cisco’s talos security team have uncovered a malware as a service operator that used public github accounts as a channel for distributing an assortment of malicious software to. In a striking escalation of cyber threat tactics, malicious actors have been found leveraging public github repositories to host and disseminate malware — primarily the amadey botnet and various information stealers — as part of a sophisticated malware as a service (maas) campaign. Security researchers have uncovered a complex spearphishing operation that exploits github’s private repository system to host malicious payloads, victim data, and attack logs, marking a significant evolution in the tactics employed by state sponsored hacking groups. Attackers are weaponizing github to deliver powerful infostealing malware under the guise of a free vpn. by now, you'd think people might be suspicious of a random free vpn floating around on github. but threat actors keep dropping the bait, expecting to steal data from naive users.

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a concerning trend where threat actors are leveraging legitimate public github repositories to host and distribute malicious payloads, bypassing traditional web filtering and exploiting the platform’s trusted nature. Cybercriminals are exploiting github to spread credential stealing malware through fake repositories, cybersecurity firm kaspersky has warned. Hackers are using the names of popular github repositories to trick users into downloading malicious code, new research reveals. analysis from checkmarx found cyber criminals are abusing github’s search functionality to trick unsuspecting devs into loading malware onto their systems. Hackers establish fake or disposable github accounts to act as open directories for malicious payloads, effectively using github’s hosting capabilities as distribution channels for malware. among the key mechanisms is the deployment of amadey, a modular malware as a service (maas) loader.
