what is going on github I just received another phishing email that appears to be a notification, and since i commented 3 days ago the original post in this thread was deleted. I reported it then too, but I don't think the scammer is resolved

Bots tend to leave links to malware or phishing sites in github issues or gist comments for popular google searches. This is nothing new. Happens all the time. Just delete comment and/or block user.

i understand that scam artists use bots to do things like link to malware whenever they find ways to do so, i'm just wondering how long it takes for Microsoft to find and zap these people and their droppings
