There's this weird github repository

https://github.com/OOOO00000000OOOO/OOOO00000000OOOO

I noticed there was someone attempting to proxy to this repository on my site, causing it to show up in the logs. It was detected as spam but this repo doesn't look like it's built by some normal spammy company. The owner has gone through great lengths to try to stay anonymous. And I can't make out what the repo is or what it's for. Does anyone know or have any ideas?

Thanks

Good catch. Someone is trying to use your site as a proxy for malicious software. You should report the repository.

    Good idea. I didn't report it before because I wasn't quite sure of whether or not it was malicious or just someone testing something out. But it's clear this person isn't just testing or debugging something. I'll report. Thanks!
