In a shocking twist that no one saw coming, cybercriminals have turned to GitHub not for coding tips or open-source collaboration, but as an innovative hosting solution! Yes, the same platform where developers argue over semicolons is now the new home for the Astaroth banking trojan. GitHub hosting: for when your malicious endeavors need a popular online presence.

This revelation has left many cybersecurity experts scratching their heads and wondering if the banking trojan is secretly funded by venture capitalists for its impressive adaptation skills. ‘Why bother with traditional infrastructure when you can crowdfunding your malware’s housing problem by piggybacking on a tech giant?’ quipped one expert, who insisted on staying anonymous to avoid becoming the next cyber target.

While GitHub probably won’t get a ‘Blackhat of the Year’ award anytime soon, it does raise the question: Are our tech platforms the Motel 6 of the cybercriminal underworld? The Astaroth trojan is having the time of its life not worrying about infrastructure takedowns, while security teams worldwide furrow their brows and consider career changes.
