Phishing Attack via GitHub Issues

The author analyzes a phishing attack method that uses GitHub Issues as an initial access vector.
Attackers create convincing issues in popular repositories, disguising them as bug reports or feature requests, and include links to external resources. These links lead to fake pages that mimic legitimate services (such as login portals or tool download pages), allowing attackers to harvest credentials or deliver malicious payloads.
