Wild. This is very similar to what was going on with our gitlab last year that prompted the big account purge: theregister.com/2024/03/01/github_automated_fork_campaign
dr|z3d
as seen on ramble, eyedeekay :) ramble.i2p/f/Security/5305/github-besieged-by-millions-of-malicious-repositories-in
eyedeekay
That was absolutely exhausting to deal with
dr|z3d
it was a salutary lesson in why a free-for-all git hosting instance isn't such a hot idea :)
eyedeekay
Yeah it certainly wasn't tenable for me
dr|z3d
in my experience, anything that enables user account creation will sooner or later be abused.
dr|z3d
fortunately, we're not normally exposed to the same level of abuse as on Tor, but still.
eyedeekay
Yeah and git hosts have a lot to abuse, CI/runners being some of the worst
dr|z3d
very true. great way to sink a vps, enabling that for one and all :)
eyedeekay
Could also enlist somebody else's server farm in your DDOS attack
dr|z3d
yeah, dangerous tool in the wrong hands, CI.
eyedeekay
editorial 'you' not a directed 'you'
eyedeekay
It's a thing I would think of trying
dr|z3d
DDOS, or crypto mining. both have been done.
dr|z3d
and I didn't think you were referring to me personally :)
eyedeekay
Just wanted to be clear :)
