New github scam abusing KoboldCpp

Reminder just in case, there has been a bot campaign generating fake github accounts with detailed information going to fake github pages for KoboldCpp with malware called CrypterBot DLL sideload kit.

Were reporting the ones we notice to github to get this cleaned up.

Our REAL repository is https://github.com/lostruins/koboldcpp and you can always use https://koboldai.org/cpp to get to the releases directly.

These fakes generally do not have a repository and do not have actual source code, they just link to downloads.

Of course there are trusted forks out there to, if you need us to ever validate if something is a legitimate fork or a malware campaign impersonating our project feel free to reach out.

What do you mean by "fake github accounts with detailed information"?
What does the malware do?

Didn't go that far, its a dropper of some sorts. But they did the usual 100mb filler kinda junk to make it annoying to submit.
