At least the malware is exposed in the light of day. I didn't say don’t fix something. I asked whether the malware should be removed vs e.g. being flagged by github. If github removes it, it will move somewhere else and be harder to keep a thumb on. That’s fine, I was curious because this “research” wouldn’t have happened in the first place if the malware was elsewhere. It sounds like intent here matters…

It’s on GitHub for visibility and credibility to victims.

If it moves somewhere else where victims can find it, the researchers can find it too.
