GitHub has not removed malicious imitation software after 3 weeks

This article highlights a software supply-chain and brand-protection risk: a malicious imitation of a legitimate product remained on GitHub for weeks despite reports, creating the potential for malware infection, customer confusion, and reputational damage.
