When GoodbyeDPI malware was spreading using the similar template (lots of forked repos with password-protected archives), Github abuse team have instantly deleted it upon my request. Mean response time was 10-15 minutes.

I also deleted files on the file sharing websites, such as mediafire and mega.

My abuse emails followed the clear and understandable email template: your service is hosting malware, here's the link, it's password protected and the password is X, here are virustotal results, here's the original repo which it impersonates, and I want you to delete it.

However I remembered reporting the exact "cheats/cracks" from the post as well, and the response time was up to 5 days.
