New Gitloker attacks wipe GitHub repos in extortion scheme

Hi All

 

Attackers are targeting GitHub repositories, wiping their contents, and asking the victims to reach out on Telegram for more information.

These attacks are part of what looks like an ongoing campaign first spotted on Wednesday by Germán Fernández, a security researcher at Chilean cybersecurity company CronUp.

The threat actor behind this campaign—who has the Gitloker handle on Telegram and is posing as a cyber incident analyst—is likely compromising targets' GitHub accounts using stolen credentials.
