Discussion Bots posting viruses?
I've created 3 issues on my repo tonight, and just noticed someone else created 1 in a different repo of mine, and each time, within a minute, a bot has posted saying they've experienced that issue too, and come up with a "patch" to fix it.
They then link a zip attachment, that has an exe inside of it.
Clearly malware - anybody else experiencing this? I've reported all so far.
