Be prepared for KYC in github. MS would love it.
Continue? There are no details on attack attempts published, even when they occured.
here's the link to the source information of that article. Read it in full. https://openjsf.org/blog/openssf-openjs-alert-social-engineering-takeovers
read the full article. there it's mentioned that there were similar attempts on popular OpenJS projects. "The emails were sent from different names, all with GitHub-associated email addresses, and were constructed around the same theme. The suspected attackers were trying to get themselves added as project maintainers to “address any critical vulnerabilities” but didn’t provide details on these vulnerabilities, which raises suspicion."
I have read this. There are no details about attacked projects, mail texts, addresses and github logins, nothing. It's even impossible to ensure that attack attempts really took place. One may guess they occured before the xz attack disclosure and were performed by different actors because thay seem much more dumb.
