The reporting Bot from Mitchell is catching them all and then they get deleted.
Mostly the bot is to fast for reporting as he catches the posts and threads from Keywords when they get posted.
I tried it a few times with the LHR Threads but its impossible do get them reported.
If they change there Github and starting posting again you can report them.

Some posts, in particular the one you mentioned, may be processed automatically. But you can still send the report to the moderators, if you have time to do it before the message is deleted.

I can't seem to report LHR pill fast enough. Twice in the last 2 days I've seen it within a minute of
being posted but by the time I click the submit button it's already gone.

Is this now an automated process or is manual reporting still required for known repeat scams?

The ETH and LHR Pill posts and threads have a new Github thats 11 Hours old already !

Fake Github Account

Its the same file in there as on the others with Malware !

I'm hoping you can get the answer to that question It indeed doesn't make sense to use a hacked account only for one easily detected malware post, while it could have stayed under the radar for a while to carry out other scams.

I sent him the link to this topic already. If you ask me though: I think you can remove the feedback already. The post is gone, the account is locked, and only the real owner will get it back.

I reported the LogitechMouse Account instant when i have seen his post in the PhoenixMiner thread as i know that User,
and i already knowen after i readed the post that it was hacked .
bL4nkcode or LoyceV when you write with him , tell him he should write in here when his Account is recovered and i will remove my Feedback on the Account .
The most Accounts that got banned and reported was newbies .

This is the screenshot LM shared btw, so it's a ban and account was locked.



Yeah, seems the hacker knows the way of forum account's security that it will be locked soon (by the owner) if he somehow change the password/email.

No you cannot

LOL

It is whooping their asses 24/7 indeed.
Older accounts I can understand with the database leak(s) and all, but how are new users getting infected/hacked ? Provided they don't download the malware-PILLs or something similar...

I received an email from someone asking to whitelist his alt, which I did now.

Was it locked by a Mod after the spam? It's not banned, so it doesn't show in modlog. The email address or password haven't been changed either, so as a user I can't see this lock anywhere.

That makes more sense than a regular user suddenly joining a long-term spammer scam.

I told him that

I assume MindlessElectron still bans them, right? That explains why they need more senior accounts for their spam.

The account is locked so nobody can even login. It does look like his account was hacked. Tell him to send an email and we'll look into it.

There were over 400 of these posts in the Phoenix Miner thread in the last 3 days so yeah...

I get in touch with the owner of this account in telegram, he said it wasn't him which is probably true. I didn't see this guy interact on that thread and then suddenly the account posted like he owns the thread or somewhat related to the team/devs of phoenix miner, and regarding the previous reports this is a desperate attacks of the scammer/hackers to phoenix miner.

Currently the account was banned and it should be lift somehow.

Malware activity seems to be increasing.

There's on other very insidious technique I found. I think it's rare but it's worth noting. It requires a compromised,
but otherwise legitimate github account.

If the account has weak security settings a malfaisant can create a github account of his own and use it to hack
the poorly secured legitimate account to make changes. In the instance I saw the previously unused wiki was the
target of the attack. The legimate owner may not even notice if notifications aren't turned on or are not checked.

The wiki was updated to do one thing: redirect to the malware hosted elsewhere. Then a link was posted in the mining
board and it looks like it points to a legitimate github account, which it is, before redirecting to the malware.
The fake github account was not used to host the malware, it was only used as a side door into a legitimate github
account. The malware was hosted elsewhere.

This redirection could go on for some time without the user realizing he's being used. When I alerted the user in this case
he was unaware but took switft action.

As long as github users have proper security and don't allow just any user to make changes to their repo this can't
happen. But it did because it didn't.*

For those not fluent in englsih or are just not good with riddles my apologies, here's the long version:
But it [ the hack] did [happen] because it [the repo] didn't [have proper security].
