GitHub has not removed malicious imitation software after 3 weeks

Automated excerpt

On the 31st August I got an email from a customer, telling me that they had found an imitation of my data wrangling software on Github. I got this reply: A colleague scanned the Mac . dmg file from the repository using virustotal. com and got a whole load of malware warnings: Using Isobuster he found out that they have also changed the background image of the . dmg: The new image encourages downloaders to ignore any warnings about the malware! Ps/ Always download software from the vendor, where possible.
