There’s this weird github repository

https://github.com/OOOO00000000OOOO/OOOO00000000OOOO

I noticed there was someone attempting to proxy to this repository on my site, causing it to show up in the logs. It was detected as spam but this repo doesn’t look like it’s built by some normal spammy company. The owner has gone through great lengths to try to stay anonymous. And I can’t make out what the repo is or what it’s for. Does anyone know or have any ideas?

Thanks

    No idea, but it’s certainly not the intended use of github.

    Have you already reported the user (look at their other repos) or should I?

      Several such repositories very similar. I’m thinking some strange encoding for using it as remote storage of some sort.

      Just reported. Wasn’t sure if I should at first. But the more people who report it, the better, right? ;) Thanks
