Ask HN: Someone impersonates my GitHub project, what to do?
Someone created a website and social media account for a project I've built two years ago and published on GitHub.
> llocalsearch dot cloud
> x dot com/llocalsearch
> there also is a coin listed on coinbase lmao (might be unrelated)
I'm not aware of any ongoing scams, but I'm concerned about their intentions. Do you guys think I should care? Is this a "normal" thing for semi popular projects?
It's truly amazing how much generated / automated trash it out there, that even GitHub projects get fake social media accounts now.
