This repository is used by scammers to steal credit card information

[pkarlik]

This repository is used by scammers to steal credit card information and you are part of this scam whether you know or not.
Your repository is hosting the files used directly by the scammer websites. I suggest you to take this repository down.
I have reported this to the Github as well.

That doesn't make any sense 😂

[pkarlik]

Yes it does, how do you think I found you? And the same the previous issue reporter obviously. The scammers use of github raw resources directly from your repo, hosting them to the victims... Your name is all around the website they use. You are helping them, not sure if intentionally or not.

You don't even know that I am not the owner of the repository, but the fact that there is someone using this component in a malicious way does not mean that it is the responsibility of the contributors of the component's code. It is an open source component, there is nothing the repository owner can do to stop such activities.

The diference, or the border line one could say, is providing the open source code vs hosting the assets directly from this repo using github raw content feature. Let's see what's Github opinion on that. I would have issue with such a use of my code and if there would be a way how to stop this I would do the best to do so...and you are wrong there is no way owner can do anything about it. There is, taking this repo down will make it stop working instantly. Or just removing the publicly hosted assets from the repo would be sufficient.

I see you are not the owner, but may be user? Doesnt change the facts though. Didnt expect anyone apart from the owner to respond to be honest.

@pkarlik Yeah, let's take down every piece of open source code that currently is or could be used by scammers.

Good bye internet, and thanks for all the fish.

Yeah actually just found this repository by looking through a scammer's code, atleast they were nice enough to give credit where it's due 😀 anyways this code is currently circulating Denmark and stealing credit card info, with some additional comments in Russian. Very interesting

I also found this repo by looking at a scam website 😂 Still not a reason to take down an open source project

[matejtu]

scammers are the problem. we need to take them down. NOT THE REPOSITORY.... the free repository is the hard work of somebody that gives you something for free. something that you maybe dont know how to code, dont have time to code.... SO BE GRATEFUL!!!

Thanks to the developer. great idea and coding. :)
