    Project mention: Source Code of $3k-a-Month macOS Malware 'Banshee Stealer' Leaked | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-01

    So let me get this straight. The malware source code was uploaded to github for people to view, but it's all in zip and 7z files, requiring you to download and execute the files in order to see their contents. 7z itself just had a RCE cve last week, and who would ever download malware files and unzip them trying to view the source code. This repo is not something to be trusted in its current state
