Caution
Security Alert: Fake Repositories and AI Threat Mitigation
Automated malicious campaigns are actively deploying AI tools to impersonate trusted software. They stand up fake GitHub profiles and Gists designed to trick users into downloading compromised packages.
- Only use official channels: Always download ImageGlass directly from the (official website). Never download binaries from third-party mirrors, unverified GitHub forks, or standalone GitHub Gists.
- Verify the repo source: The only authentic spaces for this project on GitHub are the official d2phap/ImageGlass repository and the ImageGlass Organization. Any other profile or fork promising 'portable patches', 'extended releases', or alternative mirrors is completely unauthorized and highly likely to contain malware.
- Check the URL: Double-check your browser address bar to ensure you are not visiting a typosquatted domain.
