GitHub, the world’s largest platform for software development collaboration, is also increasingly exploited by cybercriminals. Among these actors, the “Mega Rat Pack” has emerged as a pseudonymous group or collective known for hosting, forking, and distributing fully functional RATs, keyloggers, and stealer malware. Unlike advanced persistent threats (APTs), MRP targets script kiddies and novice attackers, lowering the barrier to entry for cybercrime.

The danger is obvious: In the past, malware was the domain of elite coders or closed criminal circles. Now, thanks to these dumps on GitHub, a "script kiddie" with zero coding knowledge can download a pack, compile a RAT, and deploy it. It lowers the barrier to entry for cybercrime significantly. A leaked source code allows low-level criminals to spin up new variants, changing just enough of the code to make it undetectable by legacy antivirus solutions.
