@hughsie@mastodon.social If it helps:
I have reason to believe that they are German, referencing a bunch of stuff from Germany, weird conspiray stuff.
And I have actually seen similar things earlier, a whole network of accounts that forked each others' repos and a lot of yours. Yuck. I'll dig that out.

@CyReVolt@mastodon.social yup, it's actually more insidious than this; someone has been emailing people I know warning them that I'm actually a "German hacking group" and that fwupdt (sic) is compromised with "git blobs with XOR puzzles".

@CyReVolt@mastodon.social @hughsie@mastodon.social These repos and github pages are _wild_. Feels similar erratic as the AI agent account that did a takedown of the mathplotlib maintainer in its blog, but either controlled by a conspiracy nut job or the agent itself became obsessed with new world order conspiracy theories
