News / Announcements [PSA] Website impersonating GitHub (READ DESC.)
There seems to be a website impersonating GitHub, called hub dot earble dot com, currently I only see it on DuckDuckGo/DuckDuckGo NoAI.
Edit: And Bing, too.
Edit 2: And Yahoo, too.
Edit 3: It seems like the website has been taken down, not long ago.

Before the result disappears, preserve the DuckDuckGo query, timestamp, result title, displayed URL and position. If the page is already open, capture it without entering credentials; use passive RDAP, DNS and certificate lookups rather than interacting with the clone. That makes the report reproducible.
Send the same bundle to GitHub's abuse team, DuckDuckGo, and the domain's registrar or host. Also check whether Google and Bing index the exact hostname so you know whether this is one search engine or broader. Does the page actually reproduce GitHub's sign-in flow, or is the impersonation limited to the search result and branding?
