The Phishy GitHub Issue Case

As I’m interested in initial access, and more specifically in phishing, I started looking for ways to target developers. What platform every developers uses today? You guessed it right (or just correctly read the title of this blog post) : GitHub. It is advertised as “a platform to create, store, manage and share code”. Every developer has a GitHub account and getting access to it mean getting access to their code. However, I was looking for lesser-know phishing technique, that doesn’t employ the usual Attacker-in-The-Middle approach. I stumbled upon several articles mentioning Fake Security Alerts using GitHub issues. Naturally, I decide to take a look at what it was. So let’s see how to setup this scenario for your next phishing campaign!
