Tell HN: Phishing campaign claiming to be GitHub Developer Fund
6 points by bobbiechen 15 hours ago | 3 comments

Just spotted this phishing campaign using GitHub issues to send convincing emails.

Look at this issue and the others in this repo: https://github.com/gitcoinco-n/gitcoin/issues/1 (already reported via GitHub report abuse form)

Every messaging interface will be used for scams, unfortunately.

The innocuous https://grants.github.com/apply URL goes to a completely different site. Sneaky sneaky.

Reported. Let's see how long it takes to get nuked.

Seems like it's been taken down now, as have all URLs used for this scam. Hopefully it took less than 8 hours to do this, but hey, at least GitHub eventually did something.
