Your daily coding workflow contains a hidden risk.
You clone a new GitHub repository. It looks safe. You run the code. A Trojan installs on your system. It steals your credentials and your private data.
This is not a theory. It is a real threat.
I found 10,000 GitHub repositories distributing malware. These repositories hide malicious code inside helpful tools.
Protect your machine with these steps:
- Audit every repository before you clone it.
- Inspect the source code for suspicious scripts.
- Run unknown code in a sandboxed environment.
- Use multi-factor authentication on all accounts.
Malware hides in plain sight. Stay alert.
