New malware campaign in GitHub, accounts spreading malware using MediaFire

Hello everyone,

There is a new malware campaign in GitHub where normal looking accounts are posting messages looking like this:

Download www.mediafire.com/file/DONOTCLICKMEORCOPY password: changeme In the installer menu, select "gcc."

I personally received 3 of these on the same issue but luckily GitHub takes action immediately and deletes the accounts when you report them.

Same here on my issue tracker, seems to be GitHub wide.

They reply with the message to new issues, which makes their notification email look like a direct solution to the submitter's issue, so they'll probably catch out a lot of people...

Does anyone know what the malware does? I just saw this myself.
