Malware crew Stargazers Goblin used 3,000 GitHub accounts to make bank - May even have targeted other malware gangs, and infosec researchers

The research, penned by Antonis Terefos of Check Point Software, named the collection of GitHub accounts "Stargazer Ghost Network" and asserted it's operated by a threat actor the cyber security firm labelled "Stargazer Goblin."

Terefos opined that email is viewed with suspicion, so Stargazer Goblin posts nasty links on services

Targets are folks who "wanted to increase their 'followers audience' in Twitch, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Trovo, and TikTok or use other tool-related features for Kick Chat, Telegram, Email, and Discord."

Beware the stargazing goblin 😆
