A malicious GitHub user opens a new "issue" on an open source repository falsely claiming that the project contains a "security vulnerability" and urges others to visit a counterfeit "GitHub Scanner" domain. The domain in question, however, is not associated with GitHub and tricks users into installing Windows malware.

It's really not that clever.
