Why should malware repos be deleted? Serious question. The repos aren't themselves doing harm, are valuable for research, and would be distributed some other way if GH removed them. Maybe a banner “be careful! others have reported that this repo may not do what it claims. proceed with caution” would be a more appropriate response?

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…
How would Microsoft forge a DKIM signature? It sounds more likely that it's just a shitty email from Paypal.
Microsoft obviously isn't "forging" it. It's valid: https://labs.guard.io/echospoofing-a-massive-phishing-campai...

Fun 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?
All you do is send a DELETE request to the URL.

I use (redacted).on Microsoft.com tenant which is free of cost to me as a sandbox to learn about office 365 admin stuff. I don't work on it every day but it is nice to have this sandbox. I don't send spam or phishing emails. I don't send emails from this tenant at all to others, only to my own email addresses or to people I know for testing purposes.

I 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.

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.
