The fake repositories have been going up for two years, and some are still online today.</p> <p>The trap works the way these people already work. A researcher needs a scanner, a reverse proxy, a script to clean up the output of another tool. They search GitHub, they find a repository that looks right, they clone it, and they build it. That last step is the one that ends it. <strong>The moment they build it, or even only open it, the machine is no longer theirs.</strong></p>
