If you've identified GitHub repositories hosting malware, you can report them directly to GitHub via their Abuse Report page, providing links and any relevant details. GitHub typically removes repositories that violate their Acceptable Use Policy, but response times may vary. If the malware is actively being used for harm, you may also consider reporting it to security organizations or CERT teams.

#43Fun fact: if you come across one of these discord webhooks you can delete them. Just curl -X DELETE https://discord.com/api/webhooks/ [...]
I'm not familiar with the context here, could you please elaborate? If I understood correctly, any unauthenticated user can delete the webhook? I can currently find hundreds of matches for that on Github, anyone could just go and delete them all?
In other cases you may need additional headers to authenticate, but if the script you've found contains the URL, it probably also contains the auth header too.

#46I think Microsoft has a general problem with getting rid of unwanted things within their eco-system. I keep complaining that their feedback.azure.com portal is filled with spam/malware comments and links, but even internally their teams can't reach anyone to get it fixed.

As another data point: MSFT have some sort of open mail server/service called onmicrosoft.com which (in my experience anyway) is only being used to send out fraudulent paypal messages. Because it lets the spammer set the From to service@paypal.com and also contains valid DKIM etc, it sails past spam filtering. There are so many complaints about this on (real) paypal.com forums, but Microsoft are apparently unable to…

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
Presumably you don't send out emails appearing to come from service@paypal.com saying things like "Reminder: You've still got a money request", with an HTML body that looks exactly like Paypal but contains a fraudulent link and phone number, so you should be fine.
No, I didn't. I did get those emails a lot on my university dot edu email. I understand there are legacy/compatibility challenges with the telephone infrastructure but you'd think this problem is entirely solvable with emails. :/

Doesn't distributing malware break a number of laws?
What is the definition of distribution? If I posted a code snippet of malware on github or my personal site for educational purposes, does that count as distribution?

> Sounds like deleting a VM in Azure is as tedious as trying to manage resources in a complex role-playing game—one wrong step, and you’re stuck dealing with frustrating dependencies! If you’re tired of that kind of hassle, maybe it’s time to switch things up with Download SpinRP. Instead of deleting VMs in the right order, you can dive into an immersive world where strategy and excitement go hand in hand. Why deal with a “big fat pink error” when you could be making big moves in SpinRP instead?
