@br00t4c that is nothing new.

#GitHub, like any public platform that allows to store data, can be #abused for malicious use.

  • Whilst GitHub doesn't ban #malware per-se, it shure as hell bans the use of GitHub to distribute and facilitate it or otherwise cause harm, damages and liabilities for GitHub, 3rd parties and other users as per their #ToS.

They do also #scan for #KnownMalware & #DMCA #violations in a #ContentID / #signature/#checksum-based #scanning type to prevent blatant #abuse by #Skiddies.
