shut up
What is this? Why 24 people stars this helloworld repo?? What is this issue???
So strange...
this user adds a watch to every repo imaginable
jchloos v2
ok, he watched my repo too, so I understand, this is how I came here ^^
jchloos v2?
The username is eemailme, so i email him... And probably go to sleep...
jchloos is some random user with their own website who also botted watches on (presumably) thousands of repos
I thought it was someone actually flattering me but I figured out the ruse
rip bozo packwatch spam bots should be dumped into the ocean
jhcloos has 7k followers and this account has 835. My fork of some random 3 star repo has these two guys as watchers. They should be banned.
I've never tried blocking someone on GitHub but you can try that if it takes their watches off of repos you have
no u
Its a bot network..
Well if it is bots then they are smarter than we are
who is the we ?
40 STARS!?!?!
yah, it looks like its a manual user. I think there is some setup where the person or persons behind the network is reading specific public code and building A.I tools using the code. There is a real person though who reads the emails. I thought this was connected to a larger criminal network of attorneys I've been dealing with, but the behaviors suggest its more of a fringe company. Everything is white labeled right now, they also appear to be using cut outs to avoid facing legal action. They are not following git hubs terms of service though. I'd say more but I don't want to expose too much yet..
Wtf

43 stars... I wonder why there is no "Downstar" button
this smells (potentially) related?: https://research.checkpoint.com/2024/stargazers-ghost-network/
Not 100% (jhcloos has been around since 2011) and @eemailme doesn't post.

Doesn't try to download a powershell script for me.

wut? there is no script for me either. where?
I'm looking all over this site and cant find any "trojan" or script.
Are you misinformed or is this a false positive?

I can confirm I also did not see any improper scripts .. there is an issue that looks like someone was playing around with a powerscript. I'm not sure if thats related ..
Well if you find this alleged script post a gist here so we can all dissect it.
If the github staff arrive tell them to figure out what's up with these bots.
Maybe its a false positive, if I have time i will try to look into it
What triggered you to claim "trojan" in the first place then if you aren't even gonna bother looking into it?
Are you using an automated scanner? You shouldn't just make baseless claims about trojans and powershell script's without providing source or the script itself, and then run away so we all have to waste time hunting for it...
My antivirus (ESET) reported it to me
My antivirus (ESET) reported it to me
From where?
Like this
Basically says that it detected "Powershell/TrojanDownloader.AgentIJP" and that the access has been blocked, the last line says "Find out more" which redirects to this web page (not very interesting)
Hmm. That's kindof generic message.
I was hoping it would show a path to the file or something more descriptive than that.
I guess false. Let us know if you find the root.

Someone or something has labeled it a threat . Looking at past issues, is likely the root cause. There is a relationship with Chinese sites. Given regulatory implications with that, the scan choices would make sense.
Also I didn't mean to derail the thread. I only posted that article because I thought maybe it could be something similar to what is going on here.
I noticed this strange account following one of my projects and stumbled here out of curiosity.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Stay sharp!
edit: actually following all of my projects not just one. in fact he was my first follower in 2017? my account like 10 years oldish? I don't know why I never bothered to try emailing it lol. It's literally in the name... My eyes must have glossed over that a thousand times. I can't believe it took me so long to realize its a bot. Durr.
I still don't want to email you. Leave me alone. If you have something to say, say it publicly. Or tell it to github staff weirdo.
Keep your AI garbage to yourself. LLMS are way over hyped. I can't wait for this hype cycle to pass so GPU prices can normalize... NVIDIA sucks! Copilot is not that useful (no offense github). It's good for one off functions and boilerplate but can't do real work. Stop shoving cloud AI in my face. There is no cloud. Stop forcing subscriptions on everyone.

While I think there is a failure of people to understand LLVM's GPU prices are always going to go up, IMO .. the power of geometry in computing is only going to go up .. You can block him on github if you want as well.
Have fun though and let people be people .. the thing I'd say is watch out for people hoping to exploit others for there own profit ..
Robots that can kill you based on your face exist today, nuclear weapons can still wipe us all out .. I would urge eemailme to be more transparent if your not up to any kind of trouble .. Given that evil people used internet tools to exploit children, most technology has lost the ability to hide people ..
Every new accelerator is overhyped. Just look at Ray Tracing. Ill stop now before getting more off topic.
I am not really worried about it. Just want to know what this is.
Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.
This is getting confused i get the same thing in the project
I got watched by this guy
How is it possible that these users aren't banned by github? Is github that corrupt nowadays???

I'm not sure why you would assume its corruption ? There is a real person behind it. Do you have anything to show they are doing anything but watching you and pulling the code thats been put out in the open ?

I understand and I did a bit of research, mbostwick/agile-game#5 , the internet is a weird place ..

That is certainly interesting. I did not expect this to turn out as it did. I'll have to agree with you; The internet is a weird place.
Wait a second... What are these 1-year old closed issues about?
They appear to be a Chinese privacy researcher .. likely connected to research they were doing .
damn i forgot. what was this all about?

stupid watch spammers or something, or "experiments" I guess
someone else did this before
I'm not paying attention to this unless I'm mentioned directly

hey if you need this info you should really be careful to handle the criteria of intermediate documents chick Picasso it simple a must that your documents instinctively go accounted for as well as the documents entertaining the information you request snooze ball.
