Question
Body
In short, through a follower, I discovered a bunch of repositories that were created about 12 hours ago with the general objective of demonstrating and giving the possibility of downloading software such as autoclickers and cryptocurrency wallets, which this follower of mine, incredibly, gave several stars to them.
Entering there, it is possible to see that in general they use the same modus operandi: they pass on a product and generally have around a thousand stars (with repos being created even a day ago), in addition to the texts in the about being completely similar to each other and with a lot of different users doing this.
Anyway, needless to say that this smells a lot like malicious programs or malware along with how these people started creating so many repositories out of nowhere.
