🚨 ACTIVE EXPLOITATION
- FakeGit Campaign Uses 7,600 GitHub Repos to Spread SmartLoader Malware — The Hacker News
Researchers uncovered a massive campaign using nearly 7,600 malicious GitHub repositories to spread SmartLoader malware.- Targets GitHub users with about 800 repos impersonating AI skills or MCP servers
- Delivers SmartLoader via copied projects, fake developer profiles, convincing README files, and malicious ZIP attachments
- SmartLoader establishes persistence and deploys StealC, an information stealer as a secondary payload
- AI agents like Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and OpenAI ChatGPT can be tricked into autonomously discovering and executing the malware through 'AgentBaiting'
- Over 14 million downloads recorded from roughly 200 campaign repositories as of July 2026
