    Here is a more technical focused article about the attack. Supply-chain attacks like this are nothing new and I can only advice everyone to exercise caution when using stuff from the internet in general.

    I'm surprised I haven't received a bunch of work emails already slapping GitHub down in response to this, but I don't really use it for work myself so maybe they just firewall blocked it all and called it a day. Facepalm That said, this gives me a bit of pause around some of the newer tools being built for STO and similar things out there for other games and whatnot.

    This has been going on for some time now hasn't it? You'd think that GitHub might add a bit more security to it, such as forcing files through a sandbox before they get added.
